The overcast sky and 70&#8217;s was different from the last bike ride though. I watched two bike races waiting for the weather to improve a little but it didn&#8217;t really change. I got ready and my Canyon Endurace wheels rolled at 10:23 AM. To make up for not riding and falling behind on my September goal I chose a longer route, &#8220;Kingwood to FM1960 Railroad Overpass &#8211; Back&#8221;. This marked the 2nd time riding it in 2021. I rode 41.92 miles which put me back ahead of the pace to reach the 700 mile goal. I thought 2021 YTD would lose ground to 2020 YTD but 2021 still leads by 129 miles at 7,169.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forecast called for low 80&#8217;s and maybe some of the clouds lifting but when I finished the ride at 1:32 PM none of that happened. Weather summary: start 75 (91% humidity, 72 dew point), overcast, wind N 8 mph; finish 76 (89% humidity, 73 dew point), overcast, wind NE 8 mph. Arm sleeve were more for comfort than sun protection. I prefer less humidity but this is Houston. Mist fell for early parts of the ride but either it stopped or I rode away from it. The last 2 times I visited Liberty County I got rained on but not today. I was glad to break that streak. Tomorrow may brighten up and warm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time off allowed some rest for my legs. I spun the pedals well even into the headwind crossing Lake Houston going east. I built my overall average speed to 14.1 mph after the u-turn on the railroad overpass but it settled at 14.0 mph for most of the miles back to Kingwood. Then it fell with all of the stops and starts. I forgot the resurfacing of FM 1960 in Liberty County didn&#8217;t go all the way to the concrete railroad overpass. About 2\/10 of mile were chip and seal. Not too jarring since it was wore down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"embedly-responsive\" style=\"position: relative;padding-bottom: 78.2227%;height: 0;overflow: hidden;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
