I chose my <em>Forest Cove &#8211; Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch<\/em> route but modified it a little. The ride started at 1:50 PM. I added a loop going by Kingwood High School and later rather than riding east on Valley Ranch Bend Drive I went through Forest Colony to US59. This was the second time I rode this route this year but today was a longer distance. I rode my Lynskey Helix bike. I tried a different mount for the GoPro camera on the handle bar stem but it moved from the road vibrations so it won&#8217;t work.<\/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\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"337\" data-attachment-id=\"61604\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2-19-2023-sporttracks-ride-history-forest-cove-oakhurst-valley-ranch\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=1835%2C515&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1835,515\" 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=\"2-19-2023 SportTracks Ride History Forest Cove-Oakhurst-Valley Ranch\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;2-19-2023 SportTracks Ride History Forest Cove-Oakhurst-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;2-19-2023 SportTracks Ride History Forest Cove-Oakhurst-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=600%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=800%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1200%2C337&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2-19-2023 SportTracks Ride History Forest Cove-Oakhurst-Valley Ranch\" class=\"wp-image-61604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?w=1835&amp;ssl=1 1835w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=600%2C168&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=800%2C225&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=640%2C180&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-19-2023-SportTracks-Ride-History-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1536%2C431&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2-19-2023 SportTracks Ride History Forest Cove-Oakhurst-Valley Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history for this year and last shows I rode this route 7 times, all on my two different Lynskey bikes. I didn&#8217;t check but I think these were on Sundays.Today was the longest ride in miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weather was pleasant and at the start of the ride the wind was from the SW at 7 mph but when I finished it had increased to 12 mph with 20 mph gusts. No wonder it was hard pedaling into the headwind on the way back to KIngwood from Forest Colony. I dressed comfortably with shorts, long sleeve jersey and wind jacket. A mostly cloudy sky warmed it up to 75 by the time I finished at 4:08 PM. My legs handled the wind well as I built my overall average speed up to 14.0 mph and held it until I got back into Kingwood. In the video several other cyclists were out as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far I have been on the bike every day for a total of 1147 miles and I lead all of my previous years YTD mileage by at least 120 miles and most years by larger margins. This week I rode 181.74 miles. 4 Zwift days and 3 road days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
