Maybe choosing to ride north to Splendora wasn&#8217;t such a good idea because of the strong SE wind on the return. My legs got tested big time. So much so that I needed to stop a couple of times to let them recover. The ride began at 10:31 AM as I rode away on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. This would be the first time biking to Splendora since last <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/28515515\">August 9th<\/a><\/strong>. Today&#8217;s ride also turned out to go the longest distance of 2021 and 2022 bike rides to Splendora. I&#8217;m not sure why it was slightly longer though. I checked the map from August 9th and thought I followed it. By the end of the ride at 2:10 PM I biked 43.74 miles. My goal for May is 700 miles. May biking will be different and getting those miles will will require some extra effort.<\/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\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1812\" height=\"434\" data-attachment-id=\"59114\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-2-2022-bike-rides-summary-2021-2022-kingwood-splendora-kingwood\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?fit=1812%2C434&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1812,434\" 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=\"5-2-2022 Bike Rides Summary 2021-2022 Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-2-2022 Bike Rides Summary 2021-2022 Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;5-2-2022 Bike Rides Summary 2021-2022 Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?fit=600%2C144&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?fit=800%2C192&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?fit=1812%2C434&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-2-2022 Bike Rides Summary 2021-2022 Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood\" class=\"wp-image-59114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?w=1812&amp;ssl=1 1812w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?resize=600%2C144&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?resize=800%2C192&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?resize=640%2C153&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Bike-Rides-Summary-2021-2022-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood.png?resize=1536%2C368&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>5-2-2022 Bike Rides Summary 2021-2022 Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Above shows all of the 2021 bike rides on the &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; Splendora &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route in 2021 and 2022. Three different bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind is the story of today&#8217;s bike ride. The weather conditions: start 81 (humidity 74%, dew point 72), mostly cloudy, wind S 14 mph gusts 20 mph; finish 84 (humidity 68%, dew point 73), partly cloudy, wind SE 18 mph gusts 33 mph. Getting to Splendora I enjoyed a mostly tailwind and the effort wasn&#8217;t too hard letting me use the 35&#215;13 gears mostly. Getting back to Kingwood was another story. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1651505505\">AXS.SRAM.com ride report<\/a><\/strong> shows the 35&#215;15 gear took the most riding time at 2:24:01 out the total 3:32:48 riding time. At times the gusts were so strong that I leaned the Cervelo into the wind to compensate. My legs worked hard but I changed from the 35&#215;13 gearing to 35&#215;15 riding south because I only rode at 7 to 10 mph into the wind. I made 31 RD shifts. The few times headed back to Kingwood where I rode to the west gave my legs a breather. Maybe a shorter bike ride to the north would&#8217;ve not been so hard on my legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried using the Tickr Fit heart rate monitor strap today thinking maybe my skin wouldn&#8217;t get inflamed but that failed. I have a red patch of skin and some swelling. Back to the cut off sock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7077580353\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1044\" height=\"933\" data-attachment-id=\"59115\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-2-2022-strava-kingwood-splendora-kingwood-data-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=1044%2C933&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1044,933\" 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=\"5-2-2022 Strava Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood Data Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-2-2022 Strava Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;5-2-2022 Strava Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood Data Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=504%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=671%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?fit=1044%2C933&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-2-2022 Strava Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood Data Summary\" class=\"wp-image-59115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?w=1044&amp;ssl=1 1044w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?resize=504%2C450&amp;ssl=1 504w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?resize=671%2C600&amp;ssl=1 671w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-2-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood-Data-Summary.png?resize=537%2C480&amp;ssl=1 537w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1044px) 100vw, 1044px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>5-2-2022 Strava Kingwood-Splendora-Kingwood Data Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=88906018&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 90%; height: 1100px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought flipping the calendar page over to a new month the wind returned to normal but not on today&#8217;s bike ride.
