I started biking at 10:06 AM and it felt hot as I walked to the garage to get the Canyon and set out. I chose the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route riding to the north with tailwind. To protect my skin I wore arm sleeves even though you would think they would be hot. Actually I don&#8217;t notice them thanks to the wicking of sweat and the cooling effect. For the first time in several rides there were salt stains on them when I finished the bike ride at 12:55 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With today&#8217;s <strong>37.14 miles<\/strong> the week and month stand at <strong>178.48 mile<\/strong>s, 22% of my <strong>800 mile<\/strong> goal for July. Year to date I am at <strong>4,268 miles<\/strong>. I am on track for another 200+ mile week if Saturday weather permits. The forecast looks favorable for biking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather during the bike ride: start 87 (76% humidity, 78.8 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph. Finish 94 (59% humidity, 77.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind variable 5 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the tailwind to Tavola I expected the ride back to the south to be into a headwind which it was but I actually improved my overall average speed during that section. It was 14.1 mph at the 32 mile point as I entered Kings Manor and then Kingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h2>Strava Bike Ride Summary<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure
