I put my Canyon Endurace wheels in motion at 12:59 PM to ride my &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; FM 2100 &#8211; Walden&#8221; route. I needed 47.3 miles to reach my road mile goal for February and today&#8217;s bike ride covered <strong>31.88 mile<\/strong>s getting me close. The weather tomorrow looks good with a possible high of 80 degrees. It&#8217;s hard to remember over a week ago the temperature didn&#8217;t get above freezing for several days. My February road mile total stands at<strong> 384.5 miles<\/strong> leaving <strong>15.5 miles<\/strong> to go. At the beginning of the week I didn&#8217;t think I would get close to my goal but 7 days of good biking weather made the difference. I&#8217;m 9 miles short of the first 200 mile week of 2021 too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting this late I didn&#8217;t expect to see other cyclists but 2 passed me on Old Atascocita Road as you can see in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of weather, wind dominated the bike ride today. Riding conditions: start 76 (73% humidity, 66.4 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph; finish 76 (74% humidity, 67.2 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 13 mph gusts 23 mph. I battled the wind to get to the FM 2100 turn around point. I took a chance on my kit by not wearing a windbreaker jacket. Instead I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey. My only concern once I warmed up was the chilly wind blowing over Lake Houston. The ride going east wasn&#8217;t that chilly but the return trip headed west was noticeably cooler with the wind coming from my left. The traffic blocked it at times giving me a break. I didn&#8217;t realize the wind strengthened during the ride until I got home and looked at the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My power output was better than yesterday. My legs challenged the wind although it took 20 miles to get my average speed to 14.0 mph. 51% of the riding time was in power zones 1 and 2, an improvement from yesterday&#8217;s ride. My max watts was 451. Maybe some extra adrenaline from thinking about the 3 year anniversary of my Canyon Endurace bike arrival helped. Strava reported the ride was consistent with my usual efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/4861599105\"><img
