Glad I finished today&#8217;s bike ride before that started. My ride began at 8:39 AM and I was back home by 11:20 AM. My trusty Canyon Endurace bike carried me over the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden&#8221; route for <strong>32.45 miles<\/strong>. My Canyon now has <strong>25,015 miles<\/strong> of biking. I made it a 200 mile week with <strong>215.15 miles<\/strong>. This makes the 3rd week in a row of 200+ miles. October is at 712.48 miles. A lot of miles going here. I felt good pedaling the Canyon on the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"383\" data-attachment-id=\"57747\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-23-2021-week-bike-rides-summary-ending-10-24-2021\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?fit=1840%2C882&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1840,882\" 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=\"10-23-2021 Week Bike Rides Summary ending 10-24-2021\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-23-2021 Week Bike Rides Summary ending 10-24-2021&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-23-2021 Week Bike Rides Summary ending 10-24-2021&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?fit=600%2C288&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?fit=800%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?resize=800%2C383\" alt=\"10-23-2021 Week Bike Rides Summary ending 10-24-2021\" class=\"wp-image-57747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?resize=800%2C383&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?resize=600%2C288&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?resize=640%2C307&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?resize=1536%2C736&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-Week-Bike-Rides-Summary-ending-10-24-2021.png?w=1840&amp;ssl=1 1840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-23-2021 Week Bike Rides Summary ending 10-24-2021<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunrise at 7:28 AM slowed down my start but by the time I reached the east shore of Lake Houston no cyclists crossed my route. I wondered if I was too early, too late, or they rode somewhere else. When I got to FM 2100 my concern was relieved as a few cyclists appeared from the east side of FM 2100. You can see them in the video. I waited there for few minutes but couldn&#8217;t see any more in the distance. Later on the west side of the lake while I waited for the traffic light to change a group of 5 or 6 cyclists rode up on the right shoulder and turned onto Atascocita Shores Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I dressed for cool temperatures of 70 degrees but the 99% humidity made for a muggy beginning and I thought the long sleeve jersey was overkill. But I survived as the humidity decreased to 79% at the finish. My jerseys were soaked from sweat. Weather overview: start 70 (humidity 99%, dew point 70), mostly cloudy, wind S 5 mph; finish 83 (humidity 79%, dew point 76), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph. The dew point accounted for the muggy feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the road construction on FM 2100 nearing completion the ride count on today&#8217;s route is going up. This marked the 11th time of biking it for 2021.<\/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\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"448\" data-attachment-id=\"57748\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-23-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-on-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?fit=1830%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1830,683\" 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=\"10-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on 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\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?fit=600%2C224&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?fit=800%2C299&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?resize=1200%2C448&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?w=1830&amp;ssl=1 1830w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?resize=600%2C224&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?resize=800%2C299&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?resize=640%2C239&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-23-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-on-Todays-Route.png?resize=1536%2C573&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-23-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary on Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking Strava I still have the local legend for the Lake Houston Bridge &#8211;
