The weather forecast went light on the chance of rain during the day so I set off on today&#8217;s bike ride following my &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route. I should have earlier than the noon start time and maybe missed some of the light rain that I ran into east of Lake Houston on Old Atascocita Road. From that point until I finished around 2:25 PM I biked through patches of light rain but at Alspaugh&#8217;s Hardware the rain got serious while I waited to cross W. Lake Houston Parkway.<\/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=\"Kind of Warm But Definitely Windy and Moist Biking to Huffman and Back\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xvvyILUXqmM?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>Maybe the trade off for a day in the low 70&#8217;s in January includes overcast sky and some light rain. Weather at the start and finish:  start 73 (78% humidity, 65.9 dew point), overcast, wind S 16 mph gusts  25 mph. Finish 71 (86% humidity, 66.8 dew point), light rain, wind S 14  mph gusts 25 mph. I did not realize how strong the wind was until I took screenshots of the NOAA current conditions just before starting the bike ride. It was tough riding whenever I headed south. My power readings on the Elemnt computer spiked above 600 watts a couple of times pedaling into the wind. That surprised me because I rarely get above 500 watts. Possibly a contributing factor for the high power reading was the new mounting for my PowerPod and GoPro camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-1 is-cropped

\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Until today I mounted the PowerPod below and in front of the handlebars. The GoPro stood on the handlebars in the center (see the first picture). I bought a mount extender on eBay that holds two GoPro type items side-by-side out front of the bike below my Elemnt computer. The PowerPod position might influence the power measurement but I am not sure. One thing I learned during the bike ride: the GoPro camera should be on the left making it easier to push the start\/stop button to record. The GoPro has no problem recording upside down but the microphone is farther away from me. After the ride I moved the camera to the left. Next bike ride will tell me if it is easier to get to the start\/stop button. Maybe it will improve the audio too. The GoPro White Hero7 does not accept a microphone. I would to move to a Hero 8 camera for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain and overcast sky awaits on Friday. According to the forecast the rain chance gets higher in the evening. I plan on biking before then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/2996889023\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1036\" height=\"1144\" data-attachment-id=\"51836\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/1-9-2020\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?fit=1036%2C1144&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1036,1144\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-9-2020 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?fit=408%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?fit=543%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?resize=1036%2C1144&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1-9-2020 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-51836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?w=1036&amp;ssl=1 1036w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?resize=408%2C450&amp;ssl=1 408w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?resize=543%2C600&amp;ssl=1 543w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-.jpg?resize=435%2C480&amp;ssl=1 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1036px) 100vw, 1036px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/23780240\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"648\" data-attachment-id=\"51837\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/1-9-2020-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1917%2C1035&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1917,1035\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-9-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C324&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C432&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C648&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1-9-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-51837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1917&amp;ssl=1 1917w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C324&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C432&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C346&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-9-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C829&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big news on today&#8217;s bike ride: wind and light rain.
