While I ride I see many more people on bikes but most do not wear a helmet. I hope head injuries don&#8217;t increase. So far people appear to ride sensibility but accidents are not planned. Less vehicle traffic probably helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My bike ride on the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route began at 11:22 AM. Earlier fog covered the area so densely that it sounded like rain as the moisture dropped from a tree above the bathroom skylight. The ride covered 33.44 miles moving the week&#8217;s total to 68.1 miles and the month to 194.5 road miles plus 18.7 Zwift miles. The road miles goal for April is 600 and Zwift miles is 30. I need to go on a 12 mile+ Zwift ride before my subscription expires April 12th.<\/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=\"Seeing More People On Bikes Along My Bike Ride Routes\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7TKQKr52vJ8?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>The weather is more spring like. During the bike ride: start 80 (85% humidity, 74.8 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SW 6 mph. Finish 83 (77% humidity, 75.5 dew point), overcast, wind W 8 mph. I wore a long sleeve jersey that wasn&#8217;t necessary but I wasn&#8217;t real uncomfortable. Along with the long sleeve jersey I added shorts and a short sleeve Texbiker.net jersey. Wind wasn&#8217;t much of an issue today except riding west over Lake Houston without any wind breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some days the legs are tired and today was one of those days. They turned the pedals but when called upon for extra output it wasn&#8217;t there. Average speed didn&#8217;t get above 13.4 mph because sustaining effort was available. I will label today a recovery day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without organized rides my biking routes call for some variety. I need to go on some of my less used routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday may see the temperature hit 90 and the chance of rain is less than 20%. Maybe I can start earlier and go on a longer route for some variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no'
