While I waited I watched stage 1 of the Tour de France and stage of the Giro d&#8217;Italia Donne. My home weather station recorded 1.58&#8243; of rain that ended around 10:30. Just in case I check Zwift for upcoming events but didn&#8217;t sign up for any. By 12:16 PM the streets dried enough to begin biking. I chose my &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route going north away from the remaining spots of rain. For the second time this week I rode my Lynskey Helix bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today marked the 6th ride on the route in 2022 split among 3 different bikes. I rode 32.39 miles to get July off to a good start towards my 800 mile goal for the month. For the week I am up to 181.32 miles. If the weather cooperates on Saturday I should reach 200+ for the week.<\/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\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1823\" height=\"475\" data-attachment-id=\"59576\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-1-2022-ytd-bike-rides-kingwood-fm1485-kingwood-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=1823%2C475&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1823,475\" 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=\"7-1-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood &amp;#8211; FM1485 &amp;#8211; Kingwood Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-1-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood &amp;#8211; FM1485 &amp;#8211; Kingwood Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-1-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood &amp;#8211; FM1485 &amp;#8211; Kingwood Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=600%2C156&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=800%2C208&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?fit=1823%2C475&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-1-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood - FM1485 - Kingwood Route\" class=\"wp-image-59576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?w=1823&amp;ssl=1 1823w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=600%2C156&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=800%2C208&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=640%2C167&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood-Route.png?resize=1536%2C400&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-1-2022 YTD Bike Rides Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was very humid with 99% at the start and 94% when I finished at 2:47 PM. The temperature maxed out at 78 at the end of the ride. When I went inside after finishing my bike cloths felt like I went swimming, dripping moisture. The dew point stayed close to the temperature too adding to the wet feeling. Weather overview: start 75 (humidity 99%, dew point 74), cloudy, wind NE 7 mph; finish 78 (humidity 94%, dew point 76), overcast, wind E 5 mph. It should return to hot by Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1656695815\">AXS.SRAM.com ride report<\/a><\/strong>.
