Once I warmed up it got sticky. Weather while I biked: start 79 (78% humidity, 71.1 dew point), overcast, wind NE 9 mph. Finish 81 (73% humidity, 72.0 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riding to the north the wind didn&#8217;t present a problem as I improved my average speed. Once I made the turn back to the south the tailwind allowed me to push the average speed to 14.5 mph at one point but then settled in at 14.4 mph until I got to Kings Manor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/3549017558\/embed\/18da9ffdacfce1197a36cf3310ad1cc8d8ff8bc2'><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/25490288\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"656\" data-attachment-id=\"53177\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-1-2020-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1914%2C1046&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1914,1046\" 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=\"6-1-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-1-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-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\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C437&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C656&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-1-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-53177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1914&amp;ssl=1 1914w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C328&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C437&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C350&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C839&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=750%2C410&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-1-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1140%2C624&amp;ssl=1 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting a new month of biking with a 36.17 mile ride on the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route.
