I made the early start rolling wheels at 7:55 AM. The sun was up but the temperature wasn’t in the 80’s yet. The rote was “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” riding south and east. My goal was to ride at least 30 miles and I ended up at 33.81 miles<\/strong> pushing the week’s total to 203.98 miles<\/strong> ( I should’ve went .02 miles farther). This makes the 13th week in a row of 200+ miles though this week wasn’t typically the way I got the miles. Due only riding 5 days I biked 4 days of 40+ miles and today’s shorter ride was just enough. For August I am at 312.15 miles<\/strong>, 39% of the way to the 800 mile goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 78 (97% humidity, 77.2 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind calm. Finish 94 (60% humidity, 78.4 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SW 12 mph. The humidity with the earlier start made it feel hotter. When I stopped around 17.1 miles to take video of passing cyclists I noticed water dripping from the bottom of my soaked arm sleeves. This hasn’t happened lately with the heat and lower humidity later in the day. I touched them and could feel the wetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other cyclists crossed my route today but not as many as some Saturdays. The video shows the other cyclists along the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
