The last time I biked there on May 11th the resurfacing crew was laying asphalt in the east bound lane about a mile inside the county line. Maybe today the project moved more to the east? Maybe the rain slowed progress? I answered those questions on the bike ride. Watch the video to see the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I rolled out at 10:50 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike. The route name, &#8220;May Park Community Center &#8211; Huffman&#8221;, doesn&#8217;t really describe the roads and destination clearly. I use that name because in the past I would stop at the May Community Center for ice and water but it is closed for now. Today I stopped for ice at the convenience gas station at FM 2100 and Wolf Road on the way back to Kingwood. After biking <strong>39.24 miles<\/strong> I finished at 1:54 PM. The week now totals <strong>111.51 miles<\/strong> which means I still have 3 days to get 200 miles for the week. YTD 2021 still trails 2020 by 159 miles. 2020 was a busy biking year. May is up to 711.94 miles. I have 4 potential biking days to get to 800 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain probability was low today though all of the big fluffy clouds seemed to say moisture is still around. It&#8217;s starting to heat up and I may need to start using my CamelBak hydration pack but today I just had 1 bottle. Weather conditions for the bike ride: start 83 (69% humidity, 71.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph; finish 86 (64% humidity, 72.4 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 12 mph. The wind wasn&#8217;t too bad since the route included a lot of east\/west roads minimizing the headwind exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I stopped at the traffic light in Huffman a policeman working with the construction crew asked how many miles I ride per day and I replied about 35. I told him today might be 40. At the turn around point on FM 1960 I talked with the flagman about the road. Both were friendly men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My legs felt good today for the longest ride this week, so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the return I stopped at the Kings River pool for a few minutes in the shade and to drink the ice water from the convenience store. Before getting back on the Canyon I took these photos.<\/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
