Starting at 8:33 AM I rode the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden&#8221; route wanting to ride at least <strong>22 miles<\/strong> to mark 200+ miles this week. I did that by biking <strong>31.77 miles<\/strong> which put the week&#8217;s total at <strong>210.31 miles<\/strong> and June at <strong>443.18 miles<\/strong> well on my way to reaching the 800 mile goal.<\/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=\"Encountering Other Cyclists Under A Blue Sky\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q1LQRCXRfUk?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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason I ride this route each Saturday is to see other cyclists out biking. Today I captured a few in the video and missed about as many. Near the end of the ride as I waited to cross W. Lake Houston Parkway a pace line of 6 to 8 cyclists passed quickly going south before I could turn the GoPro on. I haven&#8217;t seen a pace line on W. Lake Houston Parkway in quite a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the front passed through on Wednesday the weather has been fabulous for biking. Today was no exception. Weather at the start and finish of today&#8217;s ride: start 77 (71% humidity, 67.2 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 6 mph. Finish 87 (47% humidity, 64.0 dew point), a few clouds, wind NE 9 mph. Starting at 8:33 AM I thought it might be cooler than I am comfortable with but the temperature moved and my arm sleeves kept me above my chill zone. By the 10:52 AM finish no thoughts of chill, just enjoying the wonderful blue sky, light wind and pedaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s ride marked the 7th time on this route in 2020 and the least miles but not by much. All 7 rides have been on the Canyon Endurace bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
