I chose the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route adding a couple of extra miles to try to catch up on my 585 mile goal for March. I rode 37.44 miles which helped but I am still short about 17 miles after 7 days into March; 116.71 miles so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the cold weather moved on the clouds came in with an overcast sky as I rolled out at 11:57 AM. Weather during the bike ride: start 65 (88% humidity), fog\/mist, wind SE 10 mph. Finish 69 (83% humidity), overcast, wind S 13 mph. I dressed accordingly wearing shorts, long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket, and half finger gloves. I felt some chill until I warmed up around 15 minutes into the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I got to Tavola I noticed new markers on Via Principale Parkway at Gran Roble Drive. This area is being developed with earth movers cutting in streets and utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrappper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-47543\" data-id=\"47543\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?fit=648%2C486&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?w=2400 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-3.jpg?w=3600 3600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-47544\" data-id=\"47544\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?fit=648%2C486&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?w=2400 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-2.jpg?w=3600 3600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-47545\" data-id=\"47545\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?fit=648%2C486&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?w=2400 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/3-7-2019-Bike-Ride-Tavola-1.jpg?w=3600 3600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking those photos I continued on visiting two other sections with houses under construction before getting back to Roman Forest Blvd. Back on Roman Forest Blvd. riding to I-69\/US59 I felt some mist and hoped it would not get stronger.

finish the ride without any serious moisture falling from the sky. I rode past the schools in Kingwood before the traffic built and finished the ride at 2:52 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday during the daytime I waxed the chain on the Canyon Endurace CF SLX and fixed a problem I caused by not installing the rear derailleur hanger correctly. This caused me to not be able to remove the rear wheel. I had the hanger cocked in a forward position rather than to the rear. I figured this out by looking at the enlarged photo of my bike on the Canyon website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday weather forecast calls for the temperature to go up to the high 70&#8217;s but the overcast sky will hang around but rain is 30% to 40% probable. I plan riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h2>SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a
