My plan was to bike to Roman Forest but instead I only biked 1.89 miles before I turned around. It is good that I turned then because as I opened the gate at home to get out of the rain it started raining harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much for biking 40 miles and getting closer to my goal. Now I don&#8217;t know if I can ride enough to reach it. I am 118 miles short as of the rain out. I should&#8217;ve went inside and rode my Blue Norcross AL bike using Zwift but I didn&#8217;t think of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A short video from the bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kingwood Streets Bike Ride 9\/27\/2019\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ajykuJ1dgs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time I check the weather when the sun goes away and clouds move in but today I was focused on biking and didn&#8217;t check it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the ride I replaced the GoPro mount that fell off the bike yesterday during the ride. A tiny piece broke and I was afraid the camera might come loose during the ride. I got another mount and used a Command strip to fix it on the handle bar stem. The base of the mount curved and the strip didn&#8217;t make good contact. As I came back near home and entered the driveway the camera came loose and hit the pavement. I replaced the strip with another adhesive patch and it held firmer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back on the Canyon I went out the driveway and turned left when I felt the first rain drops. Not too long after that as I rode on the trail it rained more and I made the decision to turn around. A lady walking her dog took shelter in the tunnel under Northpark Drive as I passed her and hurried home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sat in the garage waiting for the rain to stop but it only came down harder. Maybe Saturday&#8217;s weather will cooperate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I forgot to check the weather before starting today&#8217;s bike ride.
