I watched stage 1 of the Itzulia Basque Country on GCN+ before starting today&#8217;s bike ride. While I was doing that I hoped the weather would warm up a few degrees. I chose my &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; SH 242 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route heading north along US59\/I-69. This would be the second ride on this route in 2022. While I get ready I go over the streets of the route. Sometimes I &#8220;tweak&#8221; the order (which I did today), add or subtract a road or two. The previous ride was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/29288235\">March 2nd<\/a><\/strong>. I rolled the Cervelo Caledonia out the door and pushed the start button at 11:22 AM. By the 2:06 PM finish I rode 36.31 miles (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/29408177\">SportTracks<\/a><\/strong> says 36.32 miles). Those miles improved my YTD mileage to 1,457 but I am trailing the YTD miles in 2021 by 120. Today&#8217;s ride was slightly longer distance than march 2nd, faster average speed, higher average heart rate and watts.<\/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\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1816\" height=\"306\" data-attachment-id=\"58880\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2022\/04\/04\/sun-left-wind-increased-kingwood-sh-242-kingwood-bike-ride\/4-4-2022-ytd-bike-rides-summary-kingwood-sh242-kingwood\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=1816%2C306&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1816,306\" 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=\"4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=600%2C101&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=800%2C135&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=1816%2C306&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-4-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood route\" class=\"wp-image-58880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?w=1816&amp;ssl=1 1816w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=600%2C101&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=800%2C135&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=640%2C108&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=1536%2C259&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 149.1 miles for the month so far equals 23% of my 650 mile goal. Not too bad after 4 days in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of RD gear changes increase significantly from Saturday&#8217;s ride with 35 today versus 7 on Saturday. I didn&#8217;t mistakeningly use the left paddle to shift today. Muscle memory starting to kick in?The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1649089355\">AXS.SRAM.com activity report<\/a><\/strong> shows 1:28:09 riding time in the 35&#215;13 gears with 53:00 in the 35&#215;15 gears. At times the 35&#215;13 was hard with the wind and small inclines. Total riding time was 2:42:25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather changed today, overcast, stronger wind and lower temperature. Weather conditions: start 71 (humidity 91%, dew point 68), overcast, wind SE 12 mph; finish 74 (humidity 84%, dew point 69), overcast, wind SE 14 mph. I wore a kit with the same elements as Saturday, just different colors. The Bellwether LS jersey fabric is warm enough that I can eliminate the wind jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6931587071\/edit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1047\" height=\"934\" data-attachment-id=\"58878\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-4-2022-strava-kingwood-sh242-kingwood-summary-data\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?fit=1047%2C934&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1047,934\" 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=\"4-4-2022 Strava Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood Summary Data\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-4-2022 Strava Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood Summary Data&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-4-2022 Strava Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood Summary Data&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?fit=504%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?fit=673%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?fit=1047%2C934&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-4-2022 Strava Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood Summary Data\" class=\"wp-image-58878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?w=1047&amp;ssl=1 1047w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?resize=504%2C450&amp;ssl=1 504w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?resize=673%2C600&amp;ssl=1 673w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-4-2022-Strava-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood-Summary-Data.png?resize=538%2C480&amp;ssl=1 538w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1047px) 100vw, 1047px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-4-2022 Strava Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood Summary Data<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=86353126&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 88%; height: 1000px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro races continued.
