Not riding yesterday allowed my legs to recover from Saturday’s HH100 ride. I needed that for today’s bike ride to the north into a headwind that started at 9:17 AM and finished at 12:15 PM. The 7 mph headwind graduated to to 13 mph during my ride. Fortunately the route made a u-turn at SH 242 and went south changing the headwind to a modest tailwind. I rode my Lynskey R300 bike on what I call my “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route for 36.37 miles. This brought my August total to 950.8 miles, well over my 800 mile goal. During 2021 I biked this route 7 times. The image below compares the 7 rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the Vuelta a Espana took a rest day. Maybe this was a recovery day for me too. I did watch 2 races on GCN+ after the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall the weather was typical August. Weather conditions: start 82 (75% humidity, 74 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 7 mph; finish 90 (56% humidity, 72 dew point), partly cloudy, wind NW 13 mph. Later after I finished the bike ride the high could hit the upper 90’s. The bright blue sky was nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
