Watching the replay of the Tour of Turkey helped rather than live. Wheels down on the Lynskey R300 bike at 10:53 AM. Today&#8217;s bike ride followed the &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route though I did change the tail end of the route a little. I rode <strong>36.35 miles<\/strong> to get the week off on a good start towards 200+ miles. April now totals <strong>417.91 miles<\/strong> of my 600 mile goal. Unless the weather craters that goal looks reachable with 18 days left in the month. I biked <strong>957.28 miles<\/strong> last April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good riding weather continued though the blue sky added some clouds. When I awoke this morning the temperature was 53 but the forecast called a high in the low to mid 80&#8217;s. what it was like during the bike ride: start 77 (62% humidity, 62.6 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SE 8 mph; finish 84 (46% humidity, 60.6 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. The humidity is increasing as the wind comes of the gulf. Wind remained light. I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey. I probably could&#8217;ve left the long sleeve jersey at home but it shielded my arms from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flowers are blooming in many places and these Knock Out Roses in red caught my eye.<\/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
