Today I rode my &#8220;New Caney &#8211; Gene Campbell Road&#8221; route and after finishing and checking SportTracks I was surprised to find this was only the 4th time I rode this route in 2021. Starting at 9:42 AM was good with a chance of afternoon showers. I finished at 12:51 PM without hitting any rain. Well, some rain came down for about 10 seconds on Gene Campbell Blvd. causing a brief concern. You can see the clouds in the video. I rode my Canyon Endurace bike going <strong>38.33 miles<\/strong>. Of the 4 times riding the route today was the longest but not by much. 2021 YTD miles (5846) now exceeds 2020 YTD by 9 miles, up from 1 mile yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"259\" data-attachment-id=\"57079\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/8-2-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1833%2C395&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1833,395\" 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=\"8-2-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8-2-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;8-2-2021 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\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C129&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C172&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C259&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"8-2-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1833&amp;ssl=1 1833w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C129&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C172&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C138&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-2-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C331&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>8-2-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind was strong today. At the beginning it was 8 mph but by the finish it jumped to 13 mph with 21 mph gusts. Biking west on Gene Campbell Blvd. was hard with the headwind. At the time I knew it was strong but I didn&#8217;t realize it was that strong. Making the left turn onto FM 1314 and riding SE the tailwind was nice. Overall weather conditions: start 86 (76% humidity, 77.1 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind W 8 mph; finish 88 (63% humidity, 73.6 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind W 13 mph gusts 21 mph.
