Returning at 12:19 PM after biking <strong>34.5 miles<\/strong> I again felt like I went swimming rather than biking. Houston humidity can be high when it s hot and today was no exception.<\/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=\"Houston Humidity Made Biking Like Swimming\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ejKhcnHSSvA?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>Weather at the start and finish: start 90 (76% humidity, 81.4 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. Finish 94 (66% humidity, 80.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SW 7 mph. As I returned to Kingwood biking west across Lake Houston thunder rumbled ahead and dark clouds gathered to the south. Later after I was back home a rain shower arrived but too late to catch me out on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today was the 7th time biking the route in 2020, 5 times on the Canyon Endurace and 2 times on the Lynskey R300. The distance today hit the average of those other rides. My week totals 66.8 miles, and July totals 225.82 miles, 28% of my 800 mile goal for the month. A summary of the 7 rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
