I wondered if I would see any other cyclists along the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden&#8221; route but I did see a few before finishing the ride at 12:00 PM. With the lower temperature a strong NE wind was on the route. The toughest part was riding east over Lake Houston. The fastest section was riding west over Lake Houston with a tailwind. I biked <strong>32.22 miles<\/strong> pushing my week to <strong>175.38 miles<\/strong>. I can still get a 200 mile week biking tomorrow. Hopefully the wind will let up some after church and the temperature warms up to the mid 70&#8217;s. This was the 10th time riding this route in 2021. YTD 2021 stands at 8,078 miles, 270 miles above 2020 YTD.<\/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\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"422\" data-attachment-id=\"57692\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-16-2021-ytd-bike-rides-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?fit=1839%2C647&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1839,647\" 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=\"10-16-2021 YTD Bike Rides Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-16-2021 YTD Bike Rides Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-16-2021 YTD Bike Rides Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?fit=600%2C211&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?fit=800%2C281&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?resize=1200%2C422&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-16-2021 YTD Bike Rides Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?w=1839&amp;ssl=1 1839w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?resize=600%2C211&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?resize=800%2C281&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?resize=640%2C225&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-16-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Todays-Route.png?resize=1536%2C540&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-16-2021 YTD Bike Rides Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No side trip today to Bike Barn.
