I have a personal connection with Bloom Fitness because my niece has a disability and they come to the learning center she goes to. I rolled away at 7:02 AM to ride to the Trek location, about 2 miles from my house. As I approached the store I saw a number of vehicles with people getting their bikes ready and riding to the store area. We were scheduled to roll at 7:30 but we were a few minutes late with instructions and the president of Bloom Fitness telling us what they do. I would guess maybe 150 cyclists were there. We divided up into the usual A, B, C groups with each start a couple minutes after the group ahead. I chose the C group because I slow and older. The C group probably numbered 20 to 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the store we rode to W. Lake Houston Parkway heading south. After a brief wait for the traffic light to change we moved ahead. It didn&#8217;t take long for the group the pick up speed and I was off the back. That was okay since I knew most of the roads and had the route loaded on my Bolt computer. I caught up with them at Atascocita Shores and FM 1960 as they waited for the light to change. Once it change they were off and I was off the back again but not necessarily alone with a couple of other cyclists nearby. I could see the group ahead about a mile and I kept them at that distance for many miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next time I joined them was at the Chevron station where the route turned around to head back. Everyone was taking a break, filling water bottles, and snacking. I had my CamelBak so I was good for water. I stayed a few minutes and then left before they did. I figured they would catch up and pass me later. Riding north on Bohemian Hall road at the first cross street a lady cyclist was stop on the cross street and she asked if I was part of the ride. I turned left and went over. She said they made a wrong turn and got off the route. I told her the group was at the Chevron station about 1\/2 mile to right. As we talked more cyclists joined us coming from the wrong street. They had a brief chat and decided to not go to the Chevron station but start back to Kingwood. I think there were about 10 in that group. It didn&#8217;t take too long for them to catch and pass me. Later I saw the lady stopped on Old Atascocita Road. I stopped to check on her and she said she stopped to drink and check her phone. I rode on and another group came up behind and passed. I kept them in sight for awhile and caught them at Fairlake Land and FM 1960 while they waited for traffic to let them go across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below were taken at the Chevron store turn around point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

passed one on Atascocita Shores Drive. Usually I don&#8217;t ride on W. Lake Houston Parkway passed Kings harbor but today I rode to Kings Crossing Drive and turned left thinking this would be the best way to get back to the Trek store. But when I got to Town Center the streets were blocked with a festival and I had to ride around the tents and booths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back at the Trek store the food truck was there, two tents and chairs up and people were eating ad drinking beer. I decided to head back home but I made one more stop at the Houston Police station on Rustic Woods to report a crime. I did that and rode to the end of the ride at 11:12 AM. Not much later than my usual Saturday ride but about 20 miles longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the ride I checked my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1662811364\">AXS.SRAM.com ride report<\/a><\/strong> and was surprised to see that I used the 35&#215;12 gears for 10:47, no wonder it felt hard to pedal at times. I don&#8217;t remember when I shifted to that gearing. I used the 35&#215;13 gears 2:52:27, the majority of the ride (44.2 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strava showed 5 top results. 4 show in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7786022143\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1041\" height=\"1110\" data-attachment-id=\"60099\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/9-10-2022-strava-ride-data-summary-trek-bicycles-kingwood-group-ride\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?fit=1041%2C1110&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1041,1110\" 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=\"9-10-2022 Strava Ride Data Summary Trek Bicycles Kingwood Group Ride\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;9-10-2022 Strava Ride Data Summary Trek Bicycles Kingwood Group Ride&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;9-10-2022 Strava Ride Data Summary Trek Bicycles Kingwood Group Ride&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?fit=422%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?fit=563%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?resize=1041%2C1110&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"9-10-2022 Strava Ride Data Summary Trek Bicycles Kingwood Group Ride\" class=\"wp-image-60099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?w=1041&amp;ssl=1 1041w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?resize=422%2C450&amp;ssl=1 422w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?resize=563%2C600&amp;ssl=1 563w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-10-2022-Strava-Ride-Data-Summary-Trek-Bicycles-Kingwood-Group-Ride.jpg?resize=450%2C480&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>9-10-2022 Strava Ride Data Summary Trek Bicycles Kingwood Group Ride<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=102534371&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 1100px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up early to ride to the start of the Trek Bicycle Kingwood Taco Ride benefiting Bloom Fitness.
