To get an earlier start I didn&#8217;t watch the Tour de France. Wheels rolled away at 9:54 AM as I began the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; FM 2100&#8221; route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weather radar showed rain along I-10 to the south. Being optimistic and wanting to ride 30+ miles the first 9 miles went as planned. But as I rode south over the San Jacinto River light rain began to fall. Hoping I would ride out of it I kept pedaling. The light rain stayed with me. Then when I turned onto Kings Park Way I thought the rear tire felt soft. I thought about continuing on to the library but decided to stop at the gazebo at the park. The gazebo had a bench and roof to get out of the rain as I checked the tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Removing the rear tire it didn&#8217;t take too long to find a piece of sharp rock stuck in the tire.<\/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 class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li

The glue dried quickly, I applied the patch and put the tube back in the tire. Aired up the tire and it held pressure. I put the tire back on the bike and headed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light rain from then on for the rest of the ride. Not my favorite weather but no lightning and not heavy rain. I decided the light rain seemed more riding into the wind than with a tailwind. I didn&#8217;t ride all the way to FM 2100 to avoid the construction mud. Turned around and rode in light rain but with a tailwind most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yesterday I learned that my Wahoo bolt V2 computer can screen capture the ride so I set it up for today&#8217;s bike ride. It worked. Now I need to figure out how to add it to the video after the first clip ends.<\/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\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"391\" data-attachment-id=\"56909\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-8-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-on-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1849%2C602&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1849,602\" 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=\"7-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C195&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C260&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C391&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-56909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1849&amp;ssl=1 1849w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C195&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C260&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C208&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-8-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C500&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-8-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far in 2021 I used this route 9 times.
