Lake Houston Parkway"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

An overcast sky and the remnants of heavy fog hung around delaying the start of today’s bike ride until 11:32 AM. With the high dew point the streets looked wet without raining. I chose the “Atascocita – Walden – E. Lake Houston Parkway” route though when I started I planned on riding the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. I changed my mind when the headwind getting to Walden slowed me down making it difficult to get back home at the time I wanted. I biked 27.42 miles<\/strong> putting my week’s total at 104.7 miles<\/strong>, December now totals 485.72 miles<\/strong> (281.3 miles<\/strong> on the road, 204.4 miles<\/strong> Zwifting). Year to date stands at 8,156 miles<\/strong>; 7,583<\/strong> road miles and 573<\/strong> virtual miles. 2019 miles are the most I ever biked in a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather while biked: start 71.4 (90% humidity, 68.3 dew point), overcast, wind SE 7 mph. Finish 75.7 (80% humidity, 69.1 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 12 mph. My wardrobe reflected the warmth: shorts, thermal long sleeve jersey topped with a short sleeve jersey. I felt comfortable most of the ride except when I crossed Lake Houston on FM 1960 and the wind chilled as it blew over the colder water. The dew point was close to the temperature keeping my water bottle wet from the ice chilled water being colder than the dew point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
