Searching the internet I found several with SRAM&#8217;s XPLR etap group. Now all I need to do is find some gravel to ride on nearby. That could be hard to do in the Houston area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the races over and the temperature getting up to 70 it was time for me to go on a bike ride. The Cervelo Caledonia mostly recovered from yesterday&#8217;s encounter with the 2&#8243; deck screw. After getting a ride back home I replaced the rear tire and tube. The Cervelo was my bike for today&#8217;s bike ride. there was one problem though. The front brake rotor rubs on the brake pads. I tried spreading the pads and cylinders to put more space and that helped some. The rotor didn&#8217;t rub quite as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was slightly chilly so I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a wind jacket. I rolled out at 11:20 AM on my Cervelo bike. Wanting to make up some of the lost miles from yesterday&#8217;s cut short ride I chose a route I didn&#8217;t think I had done before, <em>Atascocita &#8211; Spanish Cove &#8211; Walden<\/em>, thinking it would be around 35 to 36 miles. When I finished the ride at 2:22 PM I looked at Strava and was surprised to see two other rides came up as matches, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30229265\">October 29, 2022<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/29961480\">August 20, 2022<\/a><\/strong>. I guess this route isn&#8217;t a new one. It did cover roads I ride on other routes but I thought this combination would be new. I changed the route names on those other rides to match today.<\/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\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"283\" data-attachment-id=\"61709\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-4-2023-sporttracks-recent-rides-atascocita-spanish-cove-walden\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?fit=1837%2C433&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1837,433\" 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=\"3-4-2023 SportTracks Recent Rides Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-4-2023 SportTracks Recent Rides Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;3-4-2023 SportTracks Recent Rides Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?fit=600%2C141&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?fit=800%2C189&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=1200%2C283&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-4-2023 SportTracks Recent Rides Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden\" class=\"wp-image-61709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?w=1837&amp;ssl=1 1837w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=600%2C141&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=800%2C189&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=640%2C151&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-4-2023-SportTracks-Recent-Rides-Atascocita-Spanish-Cove-Walden.png?resize=1536%2C362&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3-4-2023 SportTracks Recent Rides Atascocita-Spanish Cove-Walden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting this late on Saturday I didn&#8217;t expect to see any cyclists but three passed me going the opposite direction in Atascocita on the way to FM 1960. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: start 70 degrees, 49% humidity, dew point 50, fair, wind variable 6 mph; finish 77 degrees, 39% humidity, dew point 50, fair, wind E 4 mph.
