Fog and mist hung around long enough to dampen the ride for a minute or so as I rode through North Woodland Hills in Kingwood. I started the bike ride at 11:40 AM and finished at 2:24 PM. The route name is new but the roads are the same: &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; FM 2100&#8221;. The new part of the route is leaving out Huffman due to road construction at FM 2100 where I made a u-turn to head back to Kingwood. The ride was a little longer than I guessed at the start with 33.89 miles. This improved my February total road miles to 169.5 leaving 230.5 miles to reach my goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather conditions: start 68 (90% humidity, 65.2 dew point), fog\/mist, wind E 3 mph; finish 73 (76% dew point, 65.2 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. The wind was much lower today than yesterday. The starting temperature was on the borderline of whether to wear leg warmers and I chose to wear them. As the ride progressed the clouds thinned enough for more sun to come through warming me up. I could&#8217;ve taken the leg warmers off but then I would&#8217;ve had to stuff them in jersey pockets that had other things in them. I wore shorts, leg warmers, long sleeve thermal jersey, and a windbreaker jacket. I was plenty warm, no wind chill today. I prefer overdressed to underdressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather forecast still talks about a strong cold front arriving late Thursday and hanging around until Monday or Tuesday. A whole lot of Zwifting those days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride wasn&#8217;t as powerful as yesterday&#8217;s. I rode my Lynskey R300 bike. 54% of the 2:31:26 moving time was in power zones 1 and 2. This was more than yesterday. I am expecting a new FSA handlebar stem today which will shorten my reach by 10mm. I think I am stretched a little too far on the bars. This hopefully will ease my back muscles and improve my pedaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
