I started the bike ride at 10:03 AM on my Canyon Endurace bike. The weather was heating up so I should&#8217;ve started earlier. But finishing at 12:31 PM avoided the hottest part of the day. The variations were a loop through Brooklyn Trails and later a loop on the street we used to live on in New Caney (see the video). These added to the typical distance which ended up at <strong>32.11 miles<\/strong>. This bumped my week to <strong>187.08 miles<\/strong> setting up tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride to put me over the 200 mile mark. July is getting close to my 800 mile goal at <strong>762.<\/strong>45 miles. Today was the 10th ride on this route in 2021. 2021 YTD miles are <strong>5,523<\/strong>. The deficit to 2020 YTD is <strong>73 miles<\/strong>; I&#8217;m holding that to double digits.<\/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\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"418\" data-attachment-id=\"57003\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-23-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1838%2C641&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1838,641\" 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=\"7-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-23-2021 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\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C209&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C279&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C418&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1838&amp;ssl=1 1838w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C209&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C279&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C223&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/7-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My legs felt stronger today than yesterday. I built my overall average speed up to 14.1 mph and held it there for awhile. Hopefully they are the same or better on tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rainy weather is taking a break and heating up for today and the next couple of days. An early start on Saturday is a good idea. The CamelBak is getting a workout keeping my water cold until the end of the ride. Today&#8217;s weather for the bike ride: start 86 (77% humidity, 78 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 5 mph; finish 90 (62% humidity, 75.7 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SW 9 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/28456420\">Link to SportTracks activity page<\/a><\/strong> for the bike ride.
