With about a third of fall in the records you would expect the weather to act like it but during today’s bike ride 91 degrees accompanied me all of the 32.27 miles<\/strong>. No complaints because it will get cooler soon enough, like Tuesday. Today’s miles wrap up the week with 103.25 miles<\/strong>, ending my three week string of 200+ mile weeks. Thank you, stomach virus. For the month, I am up to 492.18 miles<\/strong>, 208 miles<\/strong> needed to reach my goal. 4 days off the bike hurt my progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 12:27 PM start after church caused my exposure to the heat. Weather during the mid-afternoon bike ride: start 91 (66% humidity, 77.9 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 12 mph gusts 20 mph. Finish 90 (65% humidity, 76.9 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph gusts 21 mph. Notice the wind! 20+ mph gusts was okay getting to Cumberland which is NW of Porter on FM 1314. The return to Kingwood meant a strong headwind. The worst segment happened on the southbound I-69\/US59 frontage road from Azalea Blvd exiting Valley Ranch to the u-turn at Northpark Drive. Anytime I got out from behind a windbreak the gust reminded me the legs lose against the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
