After watching stage 1 of Itzulia Basque Country I was ready to get on my bike and ride. I readied myself and rolled my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike to the driveway. A car drove by and I pressed the start button at 11:47 AM. Riding north I began the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route finishing at 2:36 PM biking <strong>35.17 miles<\/strong> in 2:31:15. A good start for the week. I plan on riding 200+ miles this week if the weather will let me. I might ride another charity ride Saturday if I convince myself to get up at 4:30 AM to drive there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the 4th time riding today&#8217;s route in 2021; 3 times on my Canyon Endurace and 1 time on my Lynskey R300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it wasn&#8217;t quite as warm as I liked at the start it was better than last week. I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a windbreaker jacket. Weather conditions: start 73 (69% humidity, 62 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph; finish 77 (56% humidity, 60.1 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph. I thought the wind might be a problem on the way back to Kingwood but it was just enough off a headwind to give me some relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wildflowers along the route nestled low in the grass. I not sure what the pinkish flowers are. Sometimes Indian Paintbrush flowers stand above the grass but not yet. Bluebonnets usually are more north of today&#8217;s route near Splendora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An overview of today&#8217;s bike ride from Golden Cheetah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1006\" data-attachment-id=\"56227\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-5-2021-golden-cheetah-bike-ride-overview\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?fit=1449%2C1215&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1449,1215\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"4-5-2021 Golden Cheetah Bike Ride Overview\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-5-2021 Golden Cheetah Bike Ride Overview&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?fit=537%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?fit=716%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?resize=1200%2C1006&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-5-2021 Golden Cheetah Bike Ride Overview\" class=\"wp-image-56227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?w=1449&amp;ssl=1 1449w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?resize=537%2C450&amp;ssl=1 537w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?resize=716%2C600&amp;ssl=1 716w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-5-2021-Golden-Cheetah-Bike-Ride-Overview.png?resize=572%2C480&amp;ssl=1 572w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5075670182\/embed\/4e052a87e3fcc6455be11a15161b1c6b3dadb2df\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warmer weather than last week arrived today.
