After watching a tight finish of stage 1 of the Tour de Romandie I was ready for a good bike ride. Before leaving I did a couple of yard chores and then got dressed. I thought it is was a little chilly so I wore shorts, a long sleeve T-shirt, and a short sleeve jersey. This was one of the few kits where I have matching shorts and jersey. You can see them in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wheels down on my Lynskey R300 bike at 11:20 AM and finishing at 2:02 PM. I biked 36.71 miles per Strava&#8217;s calculation improving the week&#8217;s mileage to 105.44 miles setting up a potential 200+ mile week. April totals 884.8 miles, well over my 650 mile goal. If I add the one Zwift ride in April the total goes up to 906.64 miles. YTD I biked 2193.2 road miles plus 679.9 Zwift miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today was the third bike ride on this route in 2022. Below shows how the rides compare.<\/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\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1813\" height=\"349\" data-attachment-id=\"59077\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-27-2022-ytd-bike-rides-kingwood-sh242-kingwood\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=1813%2C349&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1813,349\" 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=\"4-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=600%2C115&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=800%2C154&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?fit=1813%2C349&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood\" class=\"wp-image-59077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?w=1813&amp;ssl=1 1813w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=600%2C115&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=800%2C154&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=640%2C123&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood.png?resize=1536%2C296&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-SH242-Kingwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather: start 74 (humidity 47%, dew point 53), a few clouds, wind E 9 mph; finish 78 (humidity 49%, dew point 58), fair, wind SE 10 mph.
