Because of the construction on FM 2100 I wasn&#8217;t sure how long the ride would be since I would leave out that part of the route. Grabbing my Canyon Endurace bike I started the bike ride at 12:17 PM. I chose the &#8220;May Park Community Center &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route and biked <strong>40.08 miles<\/strong>, the longest ride so far in 2021. The last time I <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/25632021\">biked this route was June 16th last year<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2021 mileage moved ahead of where I was on this date in 2020 by 36 miles. Year to date road and Zwift miles total 1328.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of sunshine today and the temperature went up a couple of degrees from yesterday&#8217;s bike ride. I left leg warmers at home and wore shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey under a windbreaker jacket. The wind picked during the ride and the long segment headed east on FM 1960 put the wind at my right front quarter. Not exactly a headwind but close enough that I pedaled hard. Overall weather conditions: start 68 (45% humidity, 45.7 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SE 9 mph; finish 70 (41% humidity, 45 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 13 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wind didn&#8217;t stop me building up my average speed to 14.2 mph for a long period of time. As I returned to Kingwood on W Lake Houston Parkway I got it up to 14.3 mph until moving to the greenbelt trail at Kings Harbor. Strava awarded me two Local Legend titles for two segments in Kingwood. I had one on another segment for a few days until someone took it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of photos from the ride. The first one shows me approaching the Liberty County line which I don&#8217;t cross very often. The second is me headed west on FM 1960 before crossing Lake Houston. The wind wasn&#8217;t too bad crossing the lake today.<\/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
