During the night the weather changed making today a very pleasant day for a bike ride. Sunday was 97 degrees and it was 86 degrees when I finished today’s bike ride. The dew point and humidity enhanced the coolness during the ride too. Wheels rolled at 10:44 AM as I set off on the “Stroker Road – Huffman” route. The last time I rode this route was April 20th which surprised me some, I thought it had not been that long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose this route for variety and because it had the mileage that would get me to 90+ miles for the week. Today I biked 43.03 miles<\/strong>, the week totals 90.52 miles<\/strong> and June totals 348.01 miles<\/strong>, 44% of the way to my goal. YTD is 3,528 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 77 (63% humidity, 63 dew point), overcast, wind NE 9 mph. Finish 86 (53% humidity, 66 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 6 mph. At the beginning of the ride it felt like a fall day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atascocita Hike & Bike Trail was part of the ride today. I tried to find the northern starting point but it wasn’t where I thought it was so I have to look some more. At the southern point I read the map and noticed that several spots are marked “coming soon”. Looks like this is a work in process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding east on Old Atascocita Road east of FM 2100 another cyclist approached from the east and we exchanged waves and hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After turning right onto Ramsey Road I stopped and took these photos. The wide open spaces and sky caught my eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
