What a windy bike ride today. I left at 11:05 AM heading north and northwest with a tailwind pedaling my Lynskey R300 bike. The route was similar to one I rode earlier in April but with additional streets. I call it the “Kingwood – FM1314 NW to McQueen Road” route. The first time I biked 34.63 miles but today I rode 40.47 miles<\/strong> finishing at 2:44 PM. Biking to the turn around point at McQueen Road and FM 1314 the tailwind helped me keep the the speed at 18+ mph. But the trip back to the southeast entailed fighting the strong headwind and I paid the price for the easier part of the bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those 40.47 miles<\/strong> boosted my week to 118.68 miles<\/strong> and April to 877 miles<\/strong>. April now is the highest month so far in 2021 and the most since July 2020 when I biked 922 miles. With 2 more biking days left maybe I can surpass July 2020. Year to date totals 2,938 miles <\/strong>but still trails my 2020 pace by 56 miles<\/strong>. I narrowed the gap by a few miles from yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
