I watched the last 10 k of each one via the replay. They started early and finished around the time I made it to the kitchen after getting up. I thought about which route to ride today and settled on the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; one. I gathered my ride kit, got dressed and wheeled the Cervelo Caledonia to the driveway. Rolling away at 11:22 AM the bike ride began. I finished at 1:48 PM. During that time I rode 33.29 miles boosting the week to 74.5 miles. This was the 8th time on this route in 2022. Probably the one I used the most so far. I need 230 more miles to reach my 650 mile goal for April.<\/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\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1817\" height=\"556\" data-attachment-id=\"58940\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-12-2022-ytd-bike-rides-atascocita-walden-huffman-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?fit=1817%2C556&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1817,556\" 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=\"4-12-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-12-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-12-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?fit=600%2C184&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?fit=800%2C245&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?fit=1817%2C556&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-12-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Route\" class=\"wp-image-58940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?w=1817&amp;ssl=1 1817w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?resize=600%2C184&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?resize=800%2C245&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?resize=640%2C196&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Route.png?resize=1536%2C470&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-12-2022 YTD Bike Rides Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s bike ride fit the average of the other 7 rides in distance, time, and heart rate. It was the second fastest average speed at 13.8 mph trailing the January 30th ride of 13.9 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1649780533\">AXS.SRAM.com activity report<\/a><\/strong>, I spent 1:26:07 of the ride in the 35&#215;13 gears out of the total ride time of 2:24:57. I was pushing the gears despite the headwind. I managed to ride .08 in the 35&#215;12 gear until I realized it was too hard. I made 35 RD shift changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to Kingwood on W. Lake Houston Parkway I passed a woman cyclist riding in the same direction twice. I looped on a side street and she didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t mention the wind first today. When I checked the weather before leaving the wind was from the SE at 16 mph with 25 mph gusts. At the end I checked again and it dropped to 13 mph from the SE. I&#8217;m thinking the strongest wind came while I rode into it and slowed when it became a tailwind. It would&#8217;ve been better the other way around. Overall weather conditions: start 76 (humidity 83%, dew point 71), overcast, wind SE 16 mph gusts 25 mph; finish 78 (humidity 82%, dew point 72), overcast, wind SE 13 mph. I wore the same combination as yesterday: shorts, LS t-shirt, and a short sleeve jersey over it. I felt comfortable even though the temperature stayed in the upper 70&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6971678046\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"58939\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-12-2022-strava-atascocita-walden-huffman-data-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=1042%2C928&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1042,928\" 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=\"4-12-2022 Strava Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Data Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-12-2022 Strava Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-12-2022 Strava Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=505%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?fit=674%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-12-2022-Strava-Atascocita-Walden-Huffman-Data-Summary.png?resize=989%2C891\" alt=\"4-12-2022 Strava Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Data Summary\" class=\"wp-image-58939\" width=\"989\" height=\"891\"\/><\/a><figcaption>4-12-2022 Strava Atascocita-Walden-Huffman Data Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&amp;id=86966764&amp;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 90%; height: 1000px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two bike races to watch the finish of today on GCN+: Tour of Turkey and Giro di Sicilia.
