Today&#8217;s bike ride involved even stronger wind than yesterday but the route went in a different direction. The bike ride started at 11:20 AM as I rode my Canyon Endurace bike onto the street. I chose a longer route than yesterday to take advantage of the warmer temperature. Tomorrow&#8217;s forecast calls for temperatures below my biking threshold so I need to take advantage of each opportunity. Today&#8217;s route is a variation of another route, &#8220;Kingwood to Ramsey Road &#8211; Huffman&#8221;. Due to the road construction on FM 2100 I altered the route to &#8220;Kingwood to Ramsey Road &#8211; Kingwood&#8221;. The distance is about the same coming in at <strong>37.04 miles<\/strong> compared to an average of 36 miles on the other route. This is the first time biking to Ramsey Road since October 10th, 2020. Not sure why I didn&#8217;t go there during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the weather warmed up I wore a new Voler long sleeve jersey under a windbreaker jacket. No need for a thermal one today. I like this jersey because the sleeve length is just right. The color is good too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li

gusts 26 mph; finish 77 (60% humidity, 61.8 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SW 15 mph gusts 21 mph. Getting to Ramsey Road generally was with a tailwind but the ride back to Kingwood was into a stiff headwind on Old Atascocita Road and FM 1960 going west. Exposed to the strong wind biking over Lake Houston at times I barely went faster then 9 or 10 mph. Thankfully turning right onto Atascocita Shores Drive got me out of the headwind. I thought about stopping for a short rest to let my legs regroup but waited until I was on Kings River Drive at a stop sign. Earlier when I was at the bridge on Ramsey Road I stopped for several minutes to prepare for the headwind. While stopped I took these photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
