Today the sky and forecast looked like rain but I dodged the rain though a few minutes after finishing the bike ride I heard light rain hitting the patio cover. It didn&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the video to see some new bike stuff used on the bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Crit\u00c3\u00a9rium du Dauphin\u00c3\u00a9 stage finished early thanks to the fast pace allowing me to get a somewhat early start on the bike ride at 10:19 AM. The route headed north and then back to Kingwood finishing at 12:51 PM. I chose this route to not tempt the rain to dump on me. I call this the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route. At 157 miles for the week before today&#8217;s bike ride I biked <strong>32.54 miles<\/strong> boosting the week to <strong>189.86 miles<\/strong>. Eleven miles to reach 200 for the week. Looks possible with 2 days left but the forecast contains rain. So far in 2021 I rode this route 8 times; 5 times on my Lynskey R300 and 3 times on my Canyon Endurace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What the weather was like: start 74 (93% humidity, 72.1 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph; finish 77 (84% humidity, 71.8 dew point), overcast, wind E 7 mph. Very humid thanks to all of the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I rode my Lynksey R300 bike which rolled to 4,278 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"782\" data-attachment-id=\"56642\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-4-2021-bike-ride-lynskey-r300-new-bisaddle\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?fit=1661%2C1083&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1661,1083\" 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=\"6-4-2021 Bike Ride Lynskey R300 New BiSaddle\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-4-2021 Bike Ride Lynskey R300 New BiSaddle&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?fit=600%2C391&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?fit=800%2C522&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?resize=1200%2C782&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-4-2021 Bike Ride Lynskey R300 New BiSaddle\" class=\"wp-image-56642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?w=1661&amp;ssl=1 1661w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?resize=600%2C391&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?resize=800%2C522&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?resize=640%2C417&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-4-2021-Bike-Ride-Lynskey-R300-New-BiSaddle.jpg?resize=1536%2C1001&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the support person at Wahoo Fitness I set my new Bolt V2 power to show the one colors.
