The 80 degrees at the start convinced me to leave the long sleeves at home and celebrate I wore my new Primal Men&#8217;s Helix Virtes short sleeve jersey.

Making my way through Walden put the wind at my back most of the time which I enjoyed. Biking east over Lake Houston a tailwind helped cross quickly and the trees along Fairlake Drive blocked some of the wind. When I got to Huffman on FM 2100 I still thought the wind wasn&#8217;t too bad but turning west I changed my mind especially exposed to it over Lake Houston. Once I rode west of the lake along FM 1960 some of the trees and buildings lowered the wind&#8217;s effect. Pedaling became easier after making the right turn onto Pinehurst Trail Drive with the now tailwind. Generally I enjoyed a tailwind from that point until the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday the forecast lowers the temperature a few degrees so long sleeve may return as I bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/3177909316\/embed\/4ac8724ceca7defc8698314c4ceac3996a1b40c6'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"437\" data-attachment-id=\"52482\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-12-2020-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1912%2C1044&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1912,1044\" 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=\"3-12-2020 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\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C328&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C437&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary-800x437.jpg?resize=800%2C437&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-12-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-52482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C437&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C328&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C349&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C839&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=750%2C410&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1140%2C624&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-12-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1912&amp;ssl=1 1912w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"embedly-responsive\" style=\"position: relative;padding-bottom: 78.2227%;height: 0;overflow: hidden;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embedly-embed\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen src=\"https:\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/media.html?src=https:\/\/www.relive.cc\/view\/vXOd3kpPokv\/widget?r=embed-site&#038;url=https:\/\/www.relive.cc\/view\/vXOd3kpPokv?r=embed-site&#038;image=https:\/\/www.relive.cc\/view\/vXOd3kpPokv\/png?x-ref=embed-site&#038;key=f1631a41cb254ca5b035dc5747a5bd75&#038;type=text\/html&#038;schema=relive\" width=\"1024\" height=\"801\" style=\"position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first I thought may be my optimism about the temperature over ruled my better judgment but as I biked along the &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route I warmed to the idea.
