While the temperature stayed in the low 70&#8217;s I chose to wear shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey, and a jacket. This kept me comfortable during the bike ride with the only chilly part coming when I rode west over Lake Houston on FM 1960 with the wind picking up the chill from the lake water. Weather while I biked:  start 72 (42% humidity, 47.5 dew point), fair, wind SW 14 mph gusts 20  mph. Finish 73 (36% humidity, 44.2 dew point), fair, wind SW 10 mph. The low dew points and humidity meant very dry air. While I sweated I didn&#8217;t really notice it until after the ride and I took off the long sleeve jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind required extra effort on the way south to Walden but once I turned to the east the tailwind helped me get to Huffman. From Huffman biking west the headwind challenged me but it was only about 5 miles and then I turned to the north with the wind coming from the left rear quarter, sometimes helping but not hindering so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other people enjoyed the break in the cool winter weather along the route. Town Center Park hosted a number of booths with people walking around. I returned home at 3:23 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday looks promising for another outside bike ride with sun and more low 70&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
