I checked the radar before leaving and didn&#8217;t see any rain nearby. After watching the finish of stage 17 of the Tour de France I got ready and rode away on my Lynskey R300 bike at 11:00 AM. When I finished at 1:54 PM I heard thunder to the east and some dark clouds in that direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s route is one I ride frequently with today being number 10 in 2021. I biked <strong>35.97 miles<\/strong> which was a couple miles more than I guessed at the beginning. My week total now stands at <strong>117.40 miles<\/strong>. July moved up to <strong>458.89 miles,<\/strong> or 57% of the way to my 800 mile goal. I am positioned nicely for a 200+ mile week with 4 potential biking days left in the week. YTD 2021 miles are <strong>5,219<\/strong>. This trails 2020 by <strong>117 miles<\/strong>. I am holding the difference steady but I would like to close the gap some. Last year on this date I biked <strong>34.06 miles<\/strong> which was less than today and accounted for a small decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"421\" data-attachment-id=\"56943\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-14-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1844%2C647&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1844,647\" 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=\"7-14-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-14-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-14-2021 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\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C211&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C281&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C421&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-14-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-56943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1844&amp;ssl=1 1844w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C211&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C281&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C225&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-14-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C539&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>7-14-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A summary of the weather conditions: start 86 (70% humidity, 75.3 dew point), partly cloudy, wind E 6 mph; finish 88 (66% humidity, 74.8 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 12 mph. The normal high for today is 93.2. As I write this post thunder is much closer than earlier. Rain seems to be an afternoon regular event. I finished the ride at a good time to avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yesterday I moved the seat pads on the BiSaddle seats on both my Canyon Endurace and Lynskey R300 bikes. I moved them farther apart to see if this position hits my sit bones in a better location. I think it helped on the Lynskey but maybe the seat pads could be slightly closer. I will check the new position on the Canyon during tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride. Then I will make any necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5627824531\/embed\/04cea95990c9862d61e33bf63bc8080f415ff8ab'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/28383378\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"692\" data-attachment-id=\"56945\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2021\/07\/14\/saddle-adjustment-test-new-caney-tavola-valley-ranch-bike-ride\/image-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?fit=1835%2C1058&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1835,1058\" 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=\"7-14-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-14-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-14-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?fit=600%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?fit=800%2C461&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?resize=1200%2C692&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-14-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-56945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?w=1835&amp;ssl=1 1835w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?resize=600%2C346&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?resize=800%2C461&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?resize=640%2C369&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/image.png?resize=1536%2C886&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-14-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After riding to the south yesterday I rode north on my &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; route.
