To limit my biking time as the temperature went up I chose my &#8220;Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch&#8221; route and finished at 12:41 PM. I rode 28.01 miles which is longer than the previous 2 rides on this route in 2022. This puts me in a good position to reach 200+ miles this week on tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride. It also got me within 6 miles of reaching my 800 mile goal for June. My Lynskey Helix now has 294 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\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1832\" height=\"352\" data-attachment-id=\"59518\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-24-2022-ytd-bike-rides-summary-kingwood-community-drive-valley-ranch\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=1832%2C352&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1832,352\" 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=\"6-24-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-24-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6-24-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=600%2C115&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=800%2C154&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=1832%2C352&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-24-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch\" class=\"wp-image-59518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?w=1832&amp;ssl=1 1832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=600%2C115&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=800%2C154&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=640%2C123&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6-24-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-Community-Drive-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1536%2C295&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>6-24-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood-Community Drive-Valley Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve ridden 3 different bikes on this route which reflects the changes in my bike fleet this year. The May 23rd ride was a fast one with an average speed of 14.4 mph. I wasn&#8217;t that fast today but I did get my average speed up to 14.2 mph for part of the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: start 88 (humidity 64%, dew point 74), a few clouds, wind W 7 mph; 94 (humidity 49%, dew point 72), a few clouds, wind variable 6 mph. While it was hot the low humidity and dew point (for Houston, anyway) I didn&#8217;t feel that hot. The dry weather is taking a toll on the area and I received a watering restriction notice today. The CamelBak had ice left when I finished the bike ride. I&#8217;ve been looking for the new CamelBak with the slit opening instead of the round lid but I haven&#8217;t found one yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m liking the 33&#215;13 gear combination on the Lynskey Helix. My legs seem to be able to pedal better into the headwind.
