I started 15 minutes later that my other rides this week rolling out at 8:58 AM. I got up later than I planned and just before the ride getting a new MagicShine SeeMee300 taillight on the Cervelo Caledonia took longer than I expected. The bike ride went south and east to Spanish Cove Drive on FM 2100 using my <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Spanish Cove Drive<\/strong> course. Biking 35.5 miles today boosted the week&#8217;s total to 149.1 miles. That is the average distance for all the 2023 rides using the route. I finished at 11:43 AM avoiding the afternoon heat. I saw three cyclists at Atascocita shores Drive and FM 1960. They rode west and turned north as I headed east.<\/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\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"581\" data-attachment-id=\"62805\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-13-2023-sporttracks-2023-rides-summary-atascocita-walden-spanish-cove-drive\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?fit=1841%2C892&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1841,892\" 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=\"7-13-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Walden-Spanish Cove Drive\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-13-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Walden-Spanish Cove Drive&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-13-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Walden-Spanish Cove Drive&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?fit=600%2C291&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?fit=800%2C388&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?resize=1200%2C581&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-13-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Walden-Spanish Cove Drive\" class=\"wp-image-62805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?w=1841&amp;ssl=1 1841w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?resize=600%2C291&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?resize=800%2C388&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?resize=640%2C310&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-13-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Spanish-Cove-Drive.png?resize=1536%2C744&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">7-13-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Walden-Spanish Cove Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 85 degrees, 81% humidity, dew point 78.4, mostly cloudy, wind S 7 mph; Finish 94 degrees, 63% humidity, dew point 79.0, partly cloudy, wind S 9 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My legs felt good today and the headwind wasn&#8217;t gusting like yesterday.
