In the video below you see a few seconds of the crop duster as he finishes and heads away to somewhere else. I saw plenty of other riders today. I am not sure of the number but 40 does not seem out of bounds. Just when I thought I was probably the stinkiest person around a skunk took the prize from me. I continue to wonder where all of the water comes from when I perspire. Just after I saw the crop duster fly off I stopped in some tree shade. As I was standing there listening to a herd of cows grunt to each other the perspiration was just dripping on everything. Later I stopped at a Chevron station in Huffman. When I got ready to leave there was a wet spot on the concrete as I stood up.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the video the skies were partly cloudy while the temperature was in low 90&#8217;s as I headed home. The wind was from the south or southeast but less than 10 mph. Once I got home my wife and I are installing some new shelving in the garage. This turned out nicely; better than my attempt to install a new steering stabilizer on my Jeep Wrangler. As usual I needed a special tool (a pickle fork) to get a tapered bolt loose. My success is much better when I work on my bikes.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s ride statistics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>miles = 50.85<\/li>\n<li>riding time = 3:30:58<\/li>\n<li>average pace = 4:09 min\/mile<\/li>\n<li>average speed = 14.5 mph<\/li>\n<li>max speed = 21.5 mph<\/li>\n<li>average cadence = 76.7 rpm<\/li>\n<li>max cadence = 108 rpm<\/li>\n<li>climb 260 ft., descend 263 ft., max elevation 120 ft.<\/li>\n<li>June miles 476.96<\/li>\n<li>YTD miles 2517.71<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[nggallery id=67]<\/p>\n<p>[iframe http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/38274646 465 548]<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"play\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"loop\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VGSUVH6Jj0M\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s ride included some roads I have not been on before as well as spotting a bi-plane crop duster doing his thing over some fields in east Harris County.
