The plan was to ride the seawall from the East End Beach to the west on FM 3005 turning around at beach access point 12. I did that but I added over 5 miles to last year&#8217;s ride. Those miles came from biking on Haborside Drive and the East Beach Road all the way to the end of the road at the beach. Today I biked 35.12 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I got to the Ferry Road parking lot I found it was reduced in size for construction. I drove into the last open parking slot. I got my Lynskey R300 bike out of the Jeep, put my biking gear on and headed out. The wind was 5 mph unlike last year when it was 12 to 14 mph. Lots of sun and 87 degrees. By the time I finished at 1:44 PM the wind dropped to 3 mph and the temperature was 91. Later while driving home the outside temperature according to my Jeep hit 109 for awhile but I think it might have been a couple of degrees too high. After all of the rain lately this was the first weekday without much of a rain threat. I thought a weekday would be less crowded on the seawall and I think that was the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FM 3005 on the west end of the island had construction on the east bound lanes for about a mile or more. Only 1 lane with the other lane getting new asphalt. I didn&#8217;t see this until I was about halfway through the zone riding west. So I continued to beach access 12. Turning around there I rode the shoulder to the construction area and pedaled faster on the shoulder through the work zone. Traffic passed but gave me space. About 2\/3 of the way through I pulled off at beach access 6 to let the traffic pass while I stood under a building in the shade. About 5 minutes later I went back to FM 3005, waited for a traffic break and pedaled even faster to the end of the work. From there it was about half a mile to the seawall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back at the ferry parking lot I looked for the restrooms but the building was off limits. There were some very nice portable air conditioned restrooms though. I changed out of my bike clothes in cool comfort after putting the Lynskey back in the Jeep. Next I drove to Landry&#8217;s for lunch and early dinner. My wife and I used to eat there whenever we came to Galveston after Hill&#8217;s Restaurant closed. The fried seafood platter was great as was the air conditioning. The drive back home went smoothly until I caught rush hour traffic on I-45 and the I-69\/US59 raised road. I was back home around 5:20 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5691428979\">Strava activity page<\/a><\/strong> I couldn&#8217;t count all of the
