I needed a route that wasn&#8217;t too long to fit the time window available and this one fit. I biked <strong>35.87 miles<\/strong> which boosted my week total to <strong>120.63 miles<\/strong>, a good number to position me for a 200+ mile week. This was the 18th time biking this route in 2020. 14 times on my Canyon Endurace and 4 times on my Lynskey R300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today&#8217;s video towards the end another cyclist catches me in Oakhurst and passes. Look closely at his bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I noticed when I checked the NOAA weather app on my phone the bike ride that a heat advisory is in effect from 11 AM to 7 PM. The temperature may approach 100 and the heat index could hit 109. I stated the ride at 9:58 AM and finished at 12:49 PM so I missed the major period of heat but it was still hot. The wind was light though the headwind biking south back to Kingwood felt stronger than the 7 mph I saw on the app at the finish of the ride. Weather at the start and finish: start 87 (74% humidity, 78.1 dew point), a few clouds, wind SW 6 mph. Finish 95 (57% humidity, 77.3 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SW 7 mph. Though it was hot no salt stains on my shorts at the finish today but they were soaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Update on my monthly goal progress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>372.08 miles after today&#8217;s bike ride<\/li><li>31.01 miles per day now vs. 25.8 miles per day to reach 800 miles<\/li><li>62.48 miles ahead of the 25.8 miles x 12 day pace<\/li><li>if I maintain 31.01 miles per day I could bike 961.31 miles in August, an increase over yesterday&#8217;s pace<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t ride like a racer but what I consider a fast recreational rider. A podcast I watch on YouTube rides at what he calls a &#8220;party pace&#8221;, mostly on gravel roads in Montana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\"><h4><a
