Summer weather continued for today’s bike ride on the “Stroker Road – Huffman” route. I got an early start at 7:56 AM with the sun peeking over the tops of the trees. I biked 41.0 miles<\/strong> accomplishing my goal of 200+ miles for the week with 203.77 miles<\/strong>. This is the 10th week in a row of 200+ miles. I am at 635.02 miles<\/strong> for July, 79% of the way to my 800 mile goal. YTD is 4,724 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 78 (97% humidity, 77.4 dew point), partly cloudy, wind calm. Finish 95 (61% humidity, 79.2 dew point), partly cloudy, wind variable 5 mph. I was ahead of the heat some so I used 3 water bottles with two stops, first one was at the Huffman Chevron on the way back and the second was McDonald’s at Town Center in Kingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wondered if many cyclists would be out because of the Katy Flatland Century tomorrow. It turned out 30+ cyclists crossed my route on Fairlake Drive and Old Atascocita Road. Photos of some of them. (Click on the photo to enlarge it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
