Space City Weather in their email weather forecast today kind of went out on the limb when they said today probably would be the last 80 degree high for a while, maybe for the year. A couple of weeks ago they made a similar statement about 90 degrees and then we got a 90 degree day. I hope the same thing happens for 80 degrees because I am not a fan of cold weather, cold meaning below 60 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving home at 11:17 AM I rode north on my “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route. The blue sky replaced the many clouds on yesterday’s ride. This route produced 36.7 miles<\/strong>, moving the week’s total to 104.32 miles<\/strong> and November to 174.2 miles<\/strong>. My goal for November is 460 miles<\/strong>; 360 on the road and 100 in Zwift virtual land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all the blue sky this is what the weather numbers looked like during the bike ride: start 78 (64% humidity, 64.5 dew point), a few clouds, wind SE 14 mph. Finish 79 (58% humidity, 63.1 dew point), a few clouds, wind SE 10 mph. I chose to wear shorts, long sleeve jersey topped with a short sleeve jersey. This combo worked out just right for comfort. With the warm weather I stopped at the Mobil station in New Caney at FM 1485 to refill my bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been awhile since I stopped and took photos during a ride so at the Woodridge Forest Pool I took these. The blue box on the pole is a free library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
