Getting an earlier start (9:44 AM) I thought finishing earlier than yesterday was most likely. It didn&#8217;t happen, I finished at 1:38 PM. I chose a route I haven&#8217;t rode since May 28th, &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM1314 NW to McQueen Road&#8221;. I wanted to ride at least 40 miles and this route met that. I biked 41.24 miles after adding two extra loops when I got back into Kingwood. My week total stands at 123.92 miles and June is at 753.46 miles. YTD 2021 reduced the gap with 2020 to 100 miles. A summary of the bike rides on today&#8217;s route in 2021.<\/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\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"302\" data-attachment-id=\"56800\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-23-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1853%2C467&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1853,467\" 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=\"6-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C151&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C202&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C302&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-56800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1853&amp;ssl=1 1853w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C151&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C202&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C161&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C387&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>6-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing weather caught me around mile 28 when the darkening clouds started sending rain down. I was at River Walk Drive riding SE. I saw the rain ahead on FM 1314, pedaled faster seeking a place of shelter. Biking in the rain is not my favorite but if it&#8217;s not raining hard I ride on but add lightning and I seek shelter. I made it to Pat&#8217;s Donuts front porch and hung out there for 45 minutes or so until the lightning went away and the rain slowed. With the wet roads and light rain I biked on. When I reached Oakhurst the rain went away lasting until I finished. The Canyon Endurace was gritty and when I got home I washed it. That is what delayed the finish later than yesterday with about the same distance. The video shows some of the rain while waited at Pat&#8217;s Donuts. I did not get an apple fritter. Overall weather: start 86 (78% humidity, 78.8 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind 5 mph; finish 80 (96% humidity, 79 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind NE 10 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wore a long sleeve jersey for sun protection but it also helped riding in the rain. The temperature dropped 10 degrees and the rain made it feel cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strava awarded me 3rd fastest time on Stripes-to_OldHoustonRd (25:00). I pedaled at a good pace with a light tailwind and no traffic light interruptions to set that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5518000331\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1044\" height=\"1151\" data-attachment-id=\"56799\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-23-2021-strava-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1044%2C1151&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1044,1151\" 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=\"6-23-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-23-2021 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\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=408%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=544%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1044%2C1151&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-23-2021 Strava Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-56799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1044&amp;ssl=1 1044w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=408%2C450&amp;ssl=1 408w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=544%2C600&amp;ssl=1 544w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-23-2021-Strava-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=435%2C480&amp;ssl=1 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1044px) 100vw, 1044px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t count on the weather changing so much during today&#8217;s bike ride.
