I chose the &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route and added a couple of miles to it to help make up for not biking Monday (yesterday). It rained Monday until mid afternoon when it was too late to ride. Today&#8217;s bike ride covered <strong>36.04 miles<\/strong> getting me to <strong>714.22 miles<\/strong> for June, <strong>86 miles<\/strong> short of my 800 mile goal. I will need to ride longer rides this week if I am going to hit 200+ miles because of not biking yesterday. Today was the 6th time biking today&#8217;s route in 2020 and the one with the most miles; usually this route is 34+ miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"304\" data-attachment-id=\"53416\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-23-2020-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1873%2C475&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1873,475\" 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=\"6-23-2020 YTD Bike Rides Summary Todays Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-23-2020 YTD Bike Rides Summary Todays Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C152&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C203&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C304&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-23-2020 YTD Bike Rides Summary Todays Route\" class=\"wp-image-53416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1873&amp;ssl=1 1873w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C152&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C203&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C162&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-23-2020-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C390&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather was a concern which motivated me to start when I did. Checking the weather radar I saw a big blob of rain west of Houston but it seemed to be going south rather than east. Looking at part of my Father&#8217;s Day gift, a global barometer, the barometric pressure increased while I ate breakfast indicating rain was not likely. This encouraged me to add the extra miles to the route. This is my weather gift for Father&#8217;s Day.
