The scenery was beautiful but I don&#8217;t know what all of the yellow plants are. The scenery is good here too. I chose my &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route heading north and then back to the south. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike which needs the chain lubed. I will wax it this afternoon. I biked this route 5 times so far in 2022. Today was the shortest distance biking 31.43 miles (Strava&#8217;s calculation). This pushed my week to 180.43 miles (or 180.44 in SportTracks), well within reach of hitting 200+ for the week with tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride. April biking totals 981.65 miles. <\/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\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1806\" height=\"427\" data-attachment-id=\"59094\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-29-2022-ytd-bike-rides-kingwood-fm1485-kingwood\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=1806%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1806,427\" 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=\"4-29-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-29-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-29-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=600%2C142&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=800%2C189&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=1806%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-29-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood\" class=\"wp-image-59094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?w=1806&amp;ssl=1 1806w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=600%2C142&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=800%2C189&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=640%2C151&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=1536%2C363&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-29-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting the bike ride at 11:05 AM I headed north along US59\/I-69 enjoying some help from the tailwind. But the headwind on the way back south felt strong and I thought my legs were tired but when I got home at 1:44 PM and checked the weather I saw the wind increased big time and I didn&#8217;t think my legs did that bad. Weather conditions: start 79 (humidity 71%, dew point 69), mostly cloudy, wind S 12 mph; finish 82 (humidity 65%, dew point 69), mostly cloudy, wind S 20 mph gusts 25 mph. I pedaled hard riding south but just couldn&#8217;t overcome the headwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rode with somewhat bare arms today to get some sun on them. Watch the video to find out about the cut off sock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1651248325\">AXS.SRAM.com ride report<\/a><\/strong> confirmed my effort into the wind. The total riding time was 2:22:48 and I used the 35&#215;15 gear for 1:22:50 of that. I used the 35&#215;13 gears 39:19, probably riding to FM 1485. Only 27 RD shifts which makes sense with so much riding time in the 35&#215;15 gears. I rode 16.9 miles in the 35&#215;15 and 10.5 miles in the 35&#215;13 gearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7061001492\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1042\" height=\"939\" data-attachment-id=\"59093\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-29-2022-strava-kingwood-fm1485-kingwood-data-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=1042%2C939&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1042,939\" 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=\"4-29-2022 Strava Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Data Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-29-2022 Strava Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-29-2022 Strava Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=499%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=666%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=1042%2C939&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"4-29-2022 Strava Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Data Summary\" class=\"wp-image-59093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?w=1042&amp;ssl=1 1042w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?resize=499%2C450&amp;ssl=1 499w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?resize=666%2C600&amp;ssl=1 666w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4-29-2022-Strava-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?resize=533%2C480&amp;ssl=1 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1042px) 100vw, 1042px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>4-29-2022 Strava Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood Data Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=88546190&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 1100px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No need to wait for the temperature to warm up before today&#8217;s bike ride but I did watch stage 3 of the Tour de Romandie.
