I chose the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; E. Lake Houston Parkway&#8221; route and maybe watching the race inspired me to ride &#8220;harder than your usual effort&#8221; according to Strava. I biked <strong>29.32 mile<\/strong>s improving my July total to <strong>554 miles<\/strong>, 69% of my goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather during the bike ride: start 92 (67% humidity, 79.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph. Finish 95 (57% humidity, 77.5 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. I was down the driveway at 10:27 AM and finished at 12:39 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing unusual on today&#8217;s bike ride. The Atascocita Hike &amp; Bike trail is getting used by people and a couple of workers worked on a ramp from a side street along Kings Park Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\"
