I didn&#8217;t have to wait too long for the temperature to get to a comfortable level. I rolled out on my Lynskey R300 bike at 11:29 AM and returned at 2:15 PM. I headed north enjoying the nice tailwind as I rode what I call the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route. By the time I finished I rode <strong>34.62 miles<\/strong>. This put me with 27 miles of reaching my 150 mile goal for December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today was the 27th time I rode this route in 2020. 21 times on my Canyon Endurace and 6 on my Lynskey R300. No changes in the roads but housing construction continues in Woodridge Forest and Tavola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: start 73 (70% humidity, 62.5 dew point), a few clouds, wind S 10 mph gusts 17 mph; finish 77 (55% humidity, 59.4 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SW 8 mph. That was a pretty stiff tailwind that helped me get to Tavola. Thankfully the wind let up some for the return leg to Kingwood. I repeated yesterday&#8217;s kit with shorts, long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey on top. I felt chilly for about 15 minutes when my body warmed up from the exercise. From then on I was comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only one GoPro camera (Hero 7 Silver) on today&#8217;s bike ride. I think it worked well except for 2 clips where the camera didn&#8217;t record when I pushed the button and then recorded as I fumbled with it. Later another clip shrunk the size for some reason. I deleted both of them. I used the lanyard\/case to hold the GoPro which worked good but sometimes when I shifted my right hand I had to find a new position for the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
