Watch the video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing to distract me from starting today\/s bike ride so Canyon Endurace wheels down and rolling at 10:40 AM. The weather was warm again with 79 degrees at the start and 82 at the 1:24 PM finish. Wind was stiff from the south at 13 mph and 22 mph gusts increasing to 15 mph and 29 mph gusts when I finished. My legs rested on the way to Caney Creek but got punished on the return to Kingwood. This was the 19th bike ride on today&#8217;s route, &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221;, in 2021. 8 times riding on the Canyon Endurace and 11 times on the Lynskey R300. The distance was 32.45 miles, a little longer than usual because of s side trip to see the cause of the warm weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strong headwind had me pedaling hard and not going very fast. Trees didn&#8217;t provide much relief either. Riding east put the wind from my right which seemed easier than riding west fro some reason. Thankfully my legs felt stronger than yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the strong wind I dressed a little warmer than yesterday wearing shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey. I felt comfortable with the wind keeping me cool. Weather conditions: start 79 (humidity 81%, dew point 73), mostly cloudy, wind S 13 mph gusts 22 mph; finish 82 (humidity 71%, dew point 72), mostly cloudy, wind S 15 mph gusts 29 mph. Riding north a few times the wind pushed me hard enough I didn&#8217;t need to pedal to maintain my speed. Based on the forecast tomorrow will probably be a Zwift biking day; some early morning rain and dropping temperature into the 50&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traffic seemed light with no issues. At several intersections drivers motioned me through even though they had the right of way. Courteous drivers are nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid alignfull column1-desktop-grid__span-6 column1-desktop-grid__row-1 column2-desktop-grid__span-6
