Today&#8217;s bike ride was no exception. Wheels down on the ride at 1:37 PM after getting home from church. With that in mind I chose to bike the Kingwood streets and finished at 3:10 PM after riding 19.14 miles. This was the ninth time riding Kingwood streets in 2022 but the first time on my Lynskey Helix bike. The week ended with a total of 237.17 miles, the most since the week ending 5\/2\/2022. June miles are up to 160.2, 20% of the way to my 800 mile goal. Year to date I&#8217;ve biked 3,920 miles. While this falls behind the YTD miles for 2020 and 2021 it is more than the years 2011 to 2019. Maybe I can get closer to 2021 and 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

point 72), mostly cloudy, wind SE 9 mph; finish 92 (humidity 52%, dew point 72), mostly cloudy, wind S 9 mph. It seems the strong winds from May have softened to single digit speeds saving my legs from working so hard into headwinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1654454230\">AXS.SRAM.com ride report<\/a><\/strong> gearing information is hard to compare since the crankset gearing is not the same as the Cervelo&#8217;s. With the total moving time at 1:31:02 and the gearing difference I used the front derailleur to compensate for the difference from the 48&#215;35 on the Cervelo and the 43&#215;30 on the Lynskey. The gears I used: 43 for 1:06:29 and the 17T rear cog for 1:01:06. It gets complicated figuring out how much time I spent in the 19T and 15T gears with the 43T front gear. I shifted around to find a ratio that felt similar to the 35&#215;15 and 35&#215;13 on the Cervelo. I think the 43&#215;17 was close. I used the 30T front gear for 24:02 in the early part of the ride until I found the combination that felt good. I made 2 FD and 9 RD shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7261324042\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1045\" height=\"937\" data-attachment-id=\"59362\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-5-2022-strava-kingwood-streets-data-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?fit=1045%2C937&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1045,937\" 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=\"6-5-2022 Strava Kingwood Streets Data summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-5-2022 Strava Kingwood Streets Data summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6-5-2022 Strava Kingwood Streets Data summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?fit=502%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?fit=669%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?fit=1045%2C937&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-5-2022 Strava Kingwood Streets Data summary\" class=\"wp-image-59362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?w=1045&amp;ssl=1 1045w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?resize=502%2C450&amp;ssl=1 502w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?resize=669%2C600&amp;ssl=1 669w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-5-2022-Strava-Kingwood-Streets-Data-summary.png?resize=535%2C480&amp;ssl=1 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1045px) 100vw, 1045px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>6-5-2022 Strava Kingwood Streets Data summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=92368390&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 1000px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In June when you start a bike ride after noon expect it to be hot.
