Mostly cloudy skies and humidity higher than the temperature meant a muggy ride. Riding my Canyon Endurace bike I decided to follow my &#8220;Kingwood to Ramsey Road &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route. Along the route 3 other cyclists passed me. Today&#8217;s ride of 39.27 miles was the longest of the 9 times on the route in 2021. These miles got me to within 11 miles of last October&#8217;s total of 822. I&#8217;m at 811.6 miles. I think I can surpass October 2020 with 4 potential biking days left. Year to date I&#8217;ve biked 8,421 miles, 323 miles more than last year at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure why there is an almost 2 month gap from my last ride on today&#8217;s route.<\/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\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"395\" data-attachment-id=\"57775\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-26-2021-ytd-bike-rides-summary-todays-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=1825%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1825,600\" 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=\"10-26-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-26-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&amp;#8217;s Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-26-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary 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\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=600%2C197&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?fit=800%2C263&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=1200%2C395&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-26-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today's Route\" class=\"wp-image-57775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?w=1825&amp;ssl=1 1825w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=600%2C197&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=800%2C263&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=640%2C210&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/10-26-2021-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Todays-Route.png?resize=1536%2C505&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-26-2021 YTD Bike Rides Summary Today&#8217;s Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A front should arrive around sunrise tomorrow with some rain. Depending on how much and how long it rains I may not get to ride. So far in October I&#8217;ve missed 2 days, both because of rain. The wind increased today from yesterday taxing my legs on the way to Ramsey Road. After a short break at the bridge on Ramsey Road the ride back mostly involved a tailwind from my left rear quarter. Mostly cloudy today with some darker clouds popping up from time to time. Humidity and dew points hung around the temperature resulting in a muggy but normal bike ride. Weather summary: start 78 (humidity 94%, dew point 76), mostly cloudy, wind SE 10 mph; finish 83 (humidity 77%, dew point 75), mostly cloudy, wind SE 12 mph. That 12 mph wind converts to 19 kph which would be a strong one for the European peloton. The temperatures, humidity, and dew point will drop after the front passes through leaving several sunny but cooler days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I finished at 1:21 PM with no rain or sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/77654274\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
