This proved I can actually start a weekday bike ride before 9 AM. With 151 miles for the week I decided to ride around 31 miles today to position me for a 200 mile week on tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride. I biked 31.62 miles riding my &#8220;Kingwood &#8211; FM 1485 &#8211; Kingwood&#8221; route but I changed a number of streets, adding some and changing the direction on some others. Biking the route 7 times so far this year today&#8217;s distance was a little below the average distance but with the changes I made in the route I wasn&#8217;t sure what distance would be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I saw two other cyclists and they were in spots I don&#8217;t see them in, the first was at E. Knox Street and the other was on Stonehollow Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route goes north along US59 and makes a u-turn under US59 on the north side of Caney Creek. I changed the route early on in North Woodland Hills on Oak Shores Drive going on a section I don&#8217;t ride very often. Then I went on Hidden Pines Drive north across Northpark into Woodridge Forest on Woodridge Parkway. I was back on streets I use weekly until I came to Auburn Cabin Drive which I rode for the first time among all of the construction workers&#8217; trucks building homes. Back on my usual streets the next change was in Porter taking FM 1314 east to Loop 494. North on 494 to TX 99 is was on a rarely biked road and entirely new was taking the west frontage road beside TX 99 to US59. Antique Lane was the next street I haven&#8217;t been on for a long time. This took me to Loop 494 again. From that point it was back on the regular route until I turned left into Auburn Trails from Briar Berry Lane to get to US59. This was the opposite direction I usually take through Auburn Trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting to Caney Creek was into a light headwind which turned into a tailwind for most of the ride back to Kingwood. The temperature continued to be lower than earlier in the week but humidity was higher. Weather summary: start 79 (humidity 88%, dew point 75), partly cloudy, wind NE 6 mph; finish 89 (humidity 65%, dew point 76), partly cloudy, wind N 6 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gearing on my Lynskey Helix bike is different from my Cervelo Caledonia with a 46&#215;33 versus the Cervelo&#8217;s 48&#215;35 crankset. The rear cassette is the same 36&#215;10 on both. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1660312354\">AXS.SRAM ride report<\/a><\/strong> today points out that I rode the 33&#215;13 gears for 1:42:28 (24.1 miles) of the total moving time of 2:21:22. The easier 46&#215;33 allows me to push the pedals into the headwind without going to the 33&#215;15. With the tailwind I should&#8217;ve changed to the 33&#215;12 but I didn&#8217;t think of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
