That got me on the road about an hour earlier than yesterday. Also a FedEx shipment arrived around 2:45PM. I chose a shorter route to ride to save time with the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM 1485 &#8211; Kingwood. The shorter route yielded <strong>30.64 miles<\/strong> bumping up the week to <strong>177.56 miles<\/strong> and the month to <strong>132.39 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the early start the weather was slightly cooler ahead of the &#8220;cool front&#8221; arriving Monday. Weather during the bike ride: start 82 (78% humidity, 74.6 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 4 mph. Finish 90 (63% humidity, 75.5 dew point), partly cloudy, wind NE 4 mph. The light wind helped me get the average speed up to 14.0 mph and hold it there for most of the ride after making the turn at FM 1485.<\/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 -  FM1485 -  Kingwood October 4th, 2019\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RVkWDoOpq5A?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>Relive shows the ride route and high speed, power, and heart rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"0\" data-card-key=\"f1631a41cb254ca5b035dc5747a5bd75\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.relive.cc\/view\/vdOR7WPD3r6?r=embed-site\">Relive &#8216;Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8217;<\/a><\/h4><\/blockquote>\n        <script async src=\"https:\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Some data points from the ride:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>average heart rate &#8211; 127 bps (73%)<\/li><li>max heart rate &#8211; 147 bps (84%)<\/li><li>average power output &#8211; 85 watts<\/li><li>max power output &#8211; 418 watts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The low average power hints at the help I had from the light northerly wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow I will ride in Livingston at the Spirit Ride.
