I got an early start (for me at least) pressing the Wahoo Elemnt start button at 8:31 AM. I set out on the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route. One reason for the early start was to see other cyclist’s along the route. The Saturday Bike Barn ride comes back along a part of my route on the east side of Lake Houston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s ride being the first in June the 33.04 miles<\/strong> is a small start towards my 800 mile goal for the month. With 215.83 miles<\/strong> this week I have biked three weeks in a row at 200+ miles. I will need this to continue in June if I am to make my goal. Maybe a 50+ mile ride will come about. I need to ride 26.7 miles<\/strong> each day to reach my goal. Year to date I am at 3,213 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather was a little cooler with this time of day: start 76 (87% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind N 6 mph. Finish 90 (62% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 6 mph. I wore shorts, short sleeve jersey, and arm sleeves. The jersey was one of my Texbiker.net designs and the blue arm sleeves coordinated nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as seeing other cyclists, mission accomplished. The first three passed me on Kings River Drive and from there to the last of probably more than 50 cyclists when I turned left onto FM 2100. When I pulled up to the waiting cars on Atasscocita Shores Drive at FM 1960 a lady cyclist was stopped too. We talked a little until the light changed and I rode up the incline onto FM 1960 and rode east. I don’t know what happened to her from that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AS I rode east over Lake Houston several groups of 2 or 3 bikers rode to the west. When I got to Fairlake Drive the biker groups came by. The last two photos are on Old Atascocita Road. Photos of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
