It lasted about an hour and I delayed the start of today&#8217;s bike ride until 1:22 PM to allow the streets to dry some and the temperature to recover to 70. With the late start I wouldn&#8217;t have enough time to ride too far so I shortened a route creating a new name but based on streets I ride often. The new route, &#8220;Forest Cove &#8211; Oakhurst &#8211; Kingwood&#8221;. It consists of Kingwood streets, the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway, roads to and west of US59. In the video I guess how long the ride would be and miss by almost 10 miles. The ride actually was 24.05 miles long. This put October 2021 miles above October 2020&#8217;s 822 miles with 835.65 miles. October 2019 was 625.7 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the wind and some sun the roads dried pretty quickly. Unlike the 2 days I missed earlier in October due to rain today the rain came and went leaving time to ride. I finished at 3:13 PM. Tonight the temperature may drop into the 50&#8217;s which might delay the start of tomorrow&#8217;s ride until it warms up. The wind was challenging today whenever I rode in a direction with a &#8220;W&#8221; in it. Conversely most other directions a tailwind helped me pedal the Lynskey R300 bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather condition summary: start 69 (humidity 83%, dew point 64), mostly cloudy, wind W 8 mph; finish 75 (humidity 63%, dew point 62), partly cloudy, wind NW 12 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I changed my outfit some to offset the cooler wind. I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey under a short sleeve jersey. This kept me comfortable when I hit the headwind and shade. Maybe a little overkill when I rode in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four top results according to Strava:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
