When I got there City of Houston work crews busied themselves on the worksite short circuiting my route to plan B, &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; E. Lake Houston Parkway&#8221; with a side of Fairlake Drive. Instead of 31 miles I rode <strong>30.2 miles<\/strong> which is not bad but not what or where I expected to ride. What it looked like at the bridge. It looks like the guardrails will be the last pieces to finish the job but I could be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

Finish 73 (88% humidity), overcast, wind S 8 mph. It wasn&#8217;t quite as warm as the forecast but for February I am glad. I dressed for it with shorts, long sleeve jersey under a windbreaker jacket, and half finger gloves. At the start I zipped the jacket higher but as it progressed I lowered it some to allow the body heat to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With today&#8217;s miles February stands at <strong>109.18<\/strong>,
