It started at 9:29 AM with some sun and mid 80&#8217;s. For a change of pace I rode my Lynskey Helix bike when I usually ride my Cervelo Caledonia on Tuesday. The route is what I call &#8220;Kingwood to Ramsey Road &#8211; Huffman&#8221; but I altered it a little in Kingwood riding on some side streets. Later on Ramsey Road I went north farther than I normally do before turning around. By the time I finished at 12:37 PM I biked <strong>39.65 miles<\/strong>, the most miles of the 4 times I rode this route in 2022.<\/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\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1829\" height=\"390\" data-attachment-id=\"59607\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-5-2022-ytd-bike-rides-summary-kingwood-to-ramsey-road-huffman\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=1829%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1829,390\" 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=\"7-5-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood to Ramsey Road &amp;#8211; Huffman\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-5-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood to Ramsey Road &amp;#8211; Huffman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-5-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood to Ramsey Road &amp;#8211; Huffman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=600%2C128&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=800%2C171&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=1829%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-5-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood to Ramsey Road - Huffman\" class=\"wp-image-59607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?w=1829&amp;ssl=1 1829w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=600%2C128&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=800%2C171&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=640%2C136&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=1536%2C328&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-5-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Kingwood to Ramsey Road &#8211; Huffman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: start 86 (humidity 73%, dew point 76), partly cloudy, wind S 12 mph; finish 92 (humidity 55%, dew point 73), partly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. The wind wasn&#8217;t too much of a challenge. I enjoyed some tailwind riding east on Old Atascocita Road and some headwind going west on FM 1960 from Huffman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the different gearing on the Lynskey I used the combinations differently from the Cervelo. The AXS.SRAM.com ride report shows a total moving time of 2:57:56. I used the 33&#215;13 gearing the most at 1:15:09 but I also used the 33&#215;12 52:24. I don&#8217;t have the legs to use the 12 tooth rear cassette for long on the Cervelo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stravini Chrome extension reports 7733 Crank Revolutions, 01:52:30 Active Cadence Time. So I coasted more than I pedaled (2:57:56 minus 1:52:30).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7420220053#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1039\" height=\"922\" data-attachment-id=\"59606\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-5-2022-strava-ride-data-kingwood-to-ramsey-road-huffman\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=1039%2C922&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1039,922\" 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=\"7-5-2022 Strava Ride Data Kingwood to Ramsey Road &amp;#8211; Huffman\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-5-2022 Strava Ride Data Kingwood to Ramsey Road &amp;#8211; Huffman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-5-2022 Strava Ride Data Kingwood to Ramsey Road &amp;#8211; Huffman&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=507%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=676%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?fit=1039%2C922&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-5-2022 Strava Ride Data Kingwood to Ramsey Road - Huffman\" class=\"wp-image-59606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?w=1039&amp;ssl=1 1039w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=507%2C450&amp;ssl=1 507w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=676%2C600&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-5-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Kingwood-to-Ramsey-Road-Huffman.png?resize=541%2C480&amp;ssl=1 541w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1039px) 100vw, 1039px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-5-2022 Strava Ride Data Kingwood to Ramsey Road &#8211; Huffman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=95553334&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 1000px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s route wasn&#8217;t the one I thought of first but it turned out to be a good ride (in the video I give more details).
