I managed to start a few minutes earlier at 10:16 AM. The route took me north over Caney Creek before going under I-69\/US59 to begin the ride back to the south to Kingwood. I rode my Lynskey R300 bike. I label the route, &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM 1485 &#8211; Kingwood. The ride went <strong>31.47 miles <\/strong>getting within <strong>15 miles <\/strong>of a 200 mile week at <strong>185.91 miles<\/strong> for the week. August increased to <strong>205.23 miles<\/strong> with a goal of 800 miles. 2021 YTD dropped behind 2020 YTD by 3 miles. With a shorter ride today I finished at 12:46 PM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checking SportTracks I found this was the 11th ride on this route in 2021. 7 times on my Lynskey R300 and 4 times on my Canyon Endurace. The Lynskey is getting close to 5,000 miles.<\/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\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"446\" data-attachment-id=\"57106\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/8-6-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=1847%2C686&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1847,686\" 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=\"8-6-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8-6-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;8-6-2021 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\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C223&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C297&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C446&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"8-6-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?w=1847&amp;ssl=1 1847w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C223&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C297&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C238&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C570&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>8-6-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I use a Wahoo TickrFit heart rate monitor during rides. Lately it started acting strange. It would pair and then lose connection with my Bolt computer. After a ride I put it on the charger and after I remove it the green sensor light comes even though I turned it off. Before today&#8217;s ride I couldn&#8217;t get it to turn on but I pushed the button several times in different positions and it started. It worked for the ride but I don&#8217;t know if it will tomorrow. I got it as a warranty replacement 8\/20\/2018 and it has 25,590 miles of use. I suspect the battery is wearing out from the number of charges. So I ordered a replacement. It should arrive next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August weather continued to be below normal during the ride. Conditions today: start 86 (64% humidity, 72.2 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind calm; finish 87 (59% humidity, 71.3 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 7 mph. At the end of the ride I saw salt stains on the red arm sleeves even though it wasn&#8217;t that hot. With the light wind I got my average speed up to 14.2 mph on the way back to Kingwood. The forecast says tomorrow will be closer to normal temperatures in the 90&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/5749248119\/embed\/e20f4eff42f80a46cc8335c8770a7b825e0fc9a0'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/28507508\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"687\" data-attachment-id=\"57107\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/8-6-2021-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1838%2C1053&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1838,1053\" 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=\"8-6-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8-6-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;8-6-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C458&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C687&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"8-6-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-57107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1838&amp;ssl=1 1838w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C344&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C458&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C367&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-6-2021-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C880&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>8-6-2021 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another great weather day for a bike ride.
