Rolling out on the Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike I began what I call the &#8220;May Park Community Center &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route. This route goes south and then east to Liberty County where I turn around heading a short distance to the north then south, west and then north back to Kingwood at 2:21 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TXDot Replacing Liberty County FM 1960 Chip and Seal, Hooray!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5xlfCnYgIO8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I couldn&#8217;t remember how many miles this route runs but I ended up with <strong>39.66 miles<\/strong>. The week now totals <strong>78.21 miles<\/strong> and April <strong>836.53 miles<\/strong>. With 3 potential biking days left in April I could hit 900+ miles but the weather forecast has some rain in it. Year to date I am at <strong>2,898 miles<\/strong>, 62 miles less than this point in 2020. I&#8217;m staying close.2020 was my best year mileage wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overcast and breezy describes today&#8217;s weather: start 77 (82% humidity, 70.9 dew point), overcast, wind SE 15 mph; 77 (85% humidity, 72.1 dew point), overcast, wind SE 13 mph. East of FM 2100 some rain drops fell on me but not enough to get me wet. I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey and a short sleeve jersey over it. That was a good combination with the wind and high humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Liberty County line I didn&#8217;t get to actually ride across due road construction. I talked with the flagman and he said they are replacing the chip and seal with real asphalt. The next ride I should be able to ride more into Liberty County, maybe all the way to Dayton. It has been a long time since I biked to Dayton, probably before I had a GPS bike computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=66256028&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 90%; height: 800px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5203641826\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1048\" height=\"987\" data-attachment-id=\"56391\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-27-2021-strava-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1048%2C987&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1048,987\" 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=\"4-27-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-27-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=478%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=637%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1048%2C987&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-27-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-56391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1048&amp;ssl=1 1048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=478%2C450&amp;ssl=1 478w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=637%2C600&amp;ssl=1 637w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-27-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=510%2C480&amp;ssl=1 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1048px) 100vw, 1048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More clouds than yesterday as I started today&#8217;s bike ride at 11:23 AM.
