The beautiful weather continued for today&#8217;s bike ride encouraging me to ride <strong>33.41 miles<\/strong>, moving the week&#8217;s total to <strong>160.04 miles<\/strong> and June to <strong>417.53 miles<\/strong>, 52 % of my goal for the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather during the bike ride: 86 (61% humidity, 71 dew point), fair, wind variable 7 mph. Finish 90 (53% humidity, 70 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 8 mph. I started including the dew point because it reflects the moisture in the air a little differently than the humidity percentage. My biking kit feels comfortable even though the temperature is 90 which the low humidity (for the coastal area) helps foster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strava tells me today&#8217;s effort is consistent with my usual rides. Nothing wrong with that but I think I need to add some intervals to push the effort up some; maybe using the 12 gear on the rear cassette. Physical data from the ride:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>average heart rate 132 bps (75% of max)<\/li><li>max heart rate 154 bps (88% of of max)<\/li><li>average power 117 watts<\/li><li>max power 381 watts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I attempted to find the northern trail head of the Atascocita Hike &amp; Bike trail off of W. Lake Houston Parkway on some side streets south of Upper Lake Drive but I didn&#8217;t find the entrance. I will ride from Kings Park Way north and see where it takes me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic is light now that school is out and the ride back into Kingwood and crossing Kingwood Drive is much easier helping to finish the ride at 12:52 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday the weather will start looking more like the typical Houston summer: 90+ degrees and higher humidity.<\/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 href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/21509418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"664\" data-attachment-id=\"49981\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2019\/06\/13\/enjoyed-low-humidity-and-dew-point-bike-ride\/6-13-2019-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1856%2C1027&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1856,1027\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"6-13-2019 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C332&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C443&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C664&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-49981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1856&amp;ssl=1 1856w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C354&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C332&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-13-2019-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C443&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/2447338380\/embed\/df3f075c5f846a940641c949aafe7b263c7913b7\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out the door at 10:25 AM to ride the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route.
