It was 68 when I got up this morning but warmed quickly as the sun rose. A headwind seemed to move around no matter which direction I biked until the return across Lake Houston. That changed once I turned north from FM 1960. While it wasn&#8217;t that hot salt streaks appeared on my arm sleeves and shorts. I think the sweat evaporating in the low humidity was the reason. Low humidity for Houston, anyway. Weather summary: start 81 (65% humidity, 68 dew point), fair, wind N 5 mph; finish 87 (56% humidity, 70 dew point), a few clouds, wind N 12 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy looking at the sky with all the blue and wispy clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No pop in the legs today. I struggled to get my average speed to 13 mph but once there it stayed until the finish. Tired legs and that moving headwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two other cyclists crossed my path: 1 on Fairlake Lane and the other on Atascocita Shores Drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
