Harris County and the City of Houston enacted stay home restrictions last midnight while Montgomery County did not. For that reason I chose the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; SH 242 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route. After the first 3 miles the route moved into Montgomery County staying there until the last 4 miles where it returns to Harris County and Houston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One exception to the stay at home requirement allows for outdoor exercise as long as you maintain a safe distance. Maintaining a safe distance while biking solo is not a problem. In the video I show the other cyclists I passed during the ride. I missed two other cyclists when I rode through Kings Manor on the return to Kingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter 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=\"Heat, Wildflowers on the Bike Ride to SH 242\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CgvoFMUxlck?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>I tried to capture the wildflowers in the video but maybe riding slower would have put them in a better view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North of Community Drive as I rode on the frontage rode I passed the miles needed to reach my 660 mile goal for March and with the remaining miles from there increased March to <strong>684.04 miles<\/strong>. The breakdown so far: 608.03 road miles and 75.7 Zwift miles. With several days remaining in March I hope to add to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike yesterday the wind was light today at 6 mph from the south. Weather during the bike ride: start 84 (71% humidity, 73.3 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind variable 4 mph. Finish 88 (57% humidity, 70.8 dew point), a few clouds, wind S 6 mph. Short sleeve Texbiker.net jersey and shorts today. Thursday weather looks like a repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/3217751391\/embed\/69d68cd80cec5888ac31d173651e3799ff4d7219'><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/24350673\">Link to my SportTracks activity page.<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=46197019&#038;title=Kingwood%20-%20SH%20242%20-%20Kingwood&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 700px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now it is starting to get warm the way I like it.
