Second day in a row with weather above my cutoff threshold. I started at 12:22 PM after waiting a little longer for it warm up a degree or two. Riding my Canyon Endurace bike I started out on my “Kingwood – FM 1485 – Kingwood” route. The 14 mph SE wind propelled me north until I made the u-turn under US59 for the return ride to Kingwood. At some point during the ride the wind stepped up to 17 mph from the SE requiring more watts but I held my average speed at 14.4 mph until I exited Kellington Drive onto the US59 southbound frontage road to make the u-turn at Kingwood Drive where it dropped to 14.3 mph. From there to the 2:47 PM finish my average speed decreased as I rode on side streets with stop signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
