The first attempt failed as I walked to the door and rain started. I waited until 11:48 AM for the second attempt to allow time for the streets to dry off a little. I rode my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike and followed my &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; FM 2100 &#8211; Walden&#8221; route for 32.13 miles. My week total now stands at 119.83 miles. Hopefully the rain leaves so I can bike tomorrow after church. This was the 7th time biking this route in 2021, all on the same bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been a rainy week and today it continued. Earlier this morning it rained but I thought it would dry off so I could ride around 11 AM. That was the failed attempt. I was inspired to ride after watching three races on GCN+: Giro d&#8221;Italia, Vuelta a Andalucia &#8211; Ruta del Sol, and Tour du Finist\u00c3\u00a8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An overcast sky and strong wind made for a sticky bike ride. Weather conditions: start 78 (86% humidity, 73.9 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 20 mph gusts 28 mph; finish 77 (89% humidity, 73.3 dew point), drizzle, mostly cloudy, wind SE 18 mph gusts 28 mph. Getting to FM 2100 I battled a headwind most of the way. After maing the u-turn at FM 2100 a tailwind helped me return to Kingwood. The drizzle started when I reached Atascocita Shores Drive at FM 1960 biking back to Kingwood. It wasn&#8217;t heavy enough to feel but the spots on my handlebars didn&#8217;t go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No other cyclists crossed my path. Either they stayed home or rode before my time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After finishing at 2:22 PM I hosed off the Canyon bike. It was too gritty to just wipe down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/28201186\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"688\" data-attachment-id=\"56555\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-22-2021-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1843%2C1057&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1843,1057\" 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=\"5-22-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-22-2021 SportTracks 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\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C459&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C688&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-22-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-56555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1843&amp;ssl=1 1843w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C344&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C459&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C367&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C881&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5340900668\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1057\" height=\"988\" data-attachment-id=\"56556\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-22-2021-strava-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1057%2C988&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1057,988\" 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=\"5-22-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-22-2021 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\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=481%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=642%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1057%2C988&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-22-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-56556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1057&amp;ssl=1 1057w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=481%2C450&amp;ssl=1 481w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=642%2C600&amp;ssl=1 642w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/5-22-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=514%2C480&amp;ssl=1 514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1057px) 100vw, 1057px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took two tries to get biking today.
