I needed 10 miles to make a 200 mile week. The bike ride began at 2:14 PM and finished at 3:36 PM. I biked 16.74 miles rolling the week&#8217;s total to 207.56 miles. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever rode 200+ miles in week this late in the year. Usually the weather is not friendly and I stay inside. December miles is getting close to my 150 mile goal at 137.8 miles and only 5 days into December. I think I will exceed my goal. Today was the 14th time I biked Kingwood streets in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lots of clouds and a light breeze describes the weather with the temperature 79 at the start and dropping to 76 by the finish. This morning fog covered the area as the dew point was near the temperature. I didn&#8217;t need any cool weather clothing. I wore shorts, a short sleeve jerseys, and arm sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
