That makes three attempts to go south and rain got my number starting last Saturday. I planned on riding the &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route but only rode as far as the W. Lake Houston Parkway bridge over Bens Branch Bayou where I stayed for about 30 minutes until the rain slowed down. I did bike <strong>11.25 miles<\/strong> to make an official ride by my definition of 10 miles or more. Maybe watching the Vuelta a Burgos on flobikes.com before starting the bike ride didn&#8217;t allow me to get ahead of the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube 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=\"Biking South Gets Wet Again - Bike Ride Kingwood Streets\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/piD2dmOoT44?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\">As I rode to the south dark clouds hung on the horizon waiting for me to get in position with no where to hide or get out of the rain. I decided to loop under W. Lake Houston Parkway at Ben&#8217;s Branch Bayou and stopped as the rain started. Maybe Wednesday I can complete a bike ride going south? At least I reached my July mileage goal yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions at the 10:51 AM start and the 12:28 PM finish: start 82 (94% humidity, 80.3 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind N 6 mph.
