The last road ride was January 5th. Since then the weather hasn&#8217;t been cooperative. The route today followed &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; covering <strong>33.0 miles<\/strong>. I made up the miles I was behind I needed to reach my 300 mile goal for January but am now even at 137.6 miles. I rolled off at 11:07 AM on my Canyon Endurace bike. I finished at 1:43 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It warmed up to 65 degrees at the start and was 70 degrees when I finished. The wind was the story on today&#8217;s ride. 16 mph from the SW with gusts of 23 to 26 mph. It wasn&#8217;t too bad getting to FM 2100 but from there to turning north on Atascocita Shores Drive was a battle. Riding across Lake Houston headed west I slowed to 9 &#8211; 10 mph, cadence less than 60 rpm and power 180 watts. Weather summary: start 65 (45% humidity, 43.4 dew point), a few clouds, wind SW 16 mph gusts 23 mph; finish 70 (33% humidity, 39.8 dew point), a few clouds, wind SW 16 mph gusts 26 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding east over Lake Houston I passed some more big beams. I think they are for The Grand Parkway construction north of Huffman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no'
