With an 8:39 AM start for today’s bike ride I looked forward to biking in the sun rather than dodging rain clouds. I set out on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route biking 33.64 miles<\/strong>. I am getting closer to 200 miles for the with 142.1 miles<\/strong> so far. I am at 835.18 miles<\/strong> for June, over my goal by 35.18 miles<\/strong>. YTD I biked 4,015 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 79 (98% humidity, 78.4 dew point), overcast, wind NE 4 mph. Finish 85 (85% humidity, 79.6 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 5 mph. The humidity meant sweat flowed freely. I think I will skip the arm sleeves for some rides and use wrist bands instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biking south on Pinehurst Trail Drive another cyclist pulled out ahead of me from a side street probably on the way back from his ride. I followed him into Walden until he turned right and I turned left. At the church on Fairlake Drive two SUV’s parked probably were other cyclists out on the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not too far south of the church on Fairlake Drive I looked up to see a good size doe deer run across the street and into the brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Huffman I stopped at the Chevron to refill my water bottle and was pleased to see the fountain machine was working again. After a quick refill I was back on the Canyon riding west on FM 1960. Unlike Tuesday when I rode on FM 1960 over Lake Houston today the wind was not a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying on Atascocita Shores Drive and then Kings River Drive I arrived at W. Lake Houston Parkway for the ride back into Kingwood. At this point the sun disappeared behind heavy clouds, so much for biking in the sun. As I biked north I started to think of rain but it stayed away as I finished the ride at 11:14 AM, over an hour earlier than I started Wednesday’s ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather forecast for Friday: High 93 | 72 F, 20% Precip. \/ 0.00 in., Mostly Sunny. High 93F. Winds light and variable. Looks great for biking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
