The route was &#8221; Kingwood &#8211; Splendora &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; headed north. The wind was from the NE at 13 mph presenting a headwind most of the to Splendora but a nice tailwind from there back to Kingwood. I started riding at 10:15 AM on my Canyon Endurace ending up biking <strong>42.85 miles<\/strong>. This gets the week off to a good start for a 200 mile week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last time I rode this route was August 3rd on my Lynskey R300 bike. With today&#8217;s bike ride this marks the 7th time this year, 5 times on my Lynskey and 2 times on my Canyon Endurace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tropical Storm Sally caused the wind out of the northeast while she sits out in the northern Gulf of Mexico before coming ashore tomorrow or Wednesday along the Louisiana to Alabama cost. With overcast sky the temperature at the start held at 80 and reached 88 when I finished at 1:31 PM. The wind increased to 15 mph by the end of the ride propelling me south with reduced pedaling effort. Humidity showed no mercy though and the dew point wasn&#8217;t far from the temperature making for a muggy bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some ride data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>heart rate average 126 bpm, maximum 148 bpm<\/li><li>cadence average 73 rpm, maximum 95 rpm<\/li><li>power output average 54 watts, maximum 217 watts<\/li><li>moving time 3:04:05, total time 3:15:43<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After taking Sunday off to rest, when I got home from church I watch the two big bike races, Tirreno Adriatico and the Tour de France. This ate into my miles ahead for reaching my monthly goal but I still have a lead over where I need to be by 91.9 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
