With the weather changing slightly I know fall is here. Wheels rolled at 11:38 AM, later than I planned, when I began biking the “Stroker Road – Huffman” route. I wanted to ride at least 40 miles and ended up biking 43.09 miles<\/strong>. I needed these miles if I want to reach my 700 mile September goal. After today’s ride I stand at 580.07 miles<\/strong> for the month, 120 miles<\/strong> short. With 4 days left I need to average 30 miles per day. This week I rode 150.06 miles<\/strong> so far and YTD 6,178 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather during the bike ride: start 91 (61% humidity, 75.4 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SE 4 mph. Finish 90 (51% humidity, 69.4 dew point), a few clouds, wind E 5 mph. With the slightly lower temperature arm sleeves don’t get salty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My narrative in the video points out some of my observations about the roads that flooded last Thursday and remained covered when I tired to ride them last Saturday. The clue to high water lies with the bent over grass and debris hanging from fences. I wonder how some of the houses fared on Ramsey Road. They look low enough to the ground but no debris outside pointing to flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
