Most Saturday rides follow one of two routes, <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden<\/strong> or <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Spanish Cove &#8211; Huffman<\/strong>. Today I rode the first route. These routes get me to FM 1960 sooner delaying the loop through Walden until returning back over Lake Houston to see other cyclists. I started seeing other cyclists as I neared the east side of Lake Houston on FM 1960 then on Fairlake Lane and Old Atascocita Road. Back in Kingwood 4 cyclists passed me. The week total stood at 183 miles as I began the ride and the route averages 34 miles. Starting at 7:46 AM, the earliest start this week, aboard my Canyon Endurace bike the Bolt computer failed to record the first 1\/2 mile until I pressed the paused button. To compensate I added a few streets to get the distance closer to what it should&#8217;ve been. At the 10:32 AM finish the total distance came at 34.07 miles. This put the week at 217.25 miles and 703.99 for July, 97 miles to reach my 800 mile goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting before 8 AM the humidity was higher than the temperature, 85% versus 82 degrees. For a few miles it felt cool but once I warmed up and the sweating started my kit was quickly soaked. The wind was light as first but increased to 10 mph when I finished punishing my legs some. It wasn&#8217;t my fastest ride on the route but I was okay with it. Weather overall: Start 82 degrees, 85% humidity, dew point 76.5, a few clouds, wind W 4 mph; Finish 88 degrees, 67% humidity, dew point 76.1, partly cloudy, wind W 10 mph.<\/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\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"365\" data-attachment-id=\"62862\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-22-2023-sporttracks-2023-rides-summary-atascocita-huffman-walden\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?fit=1840%2C560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1840,560\" 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=\"7-22-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Huffman-Walden\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-22-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Huffman-Walden&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-22-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Huffman-Walden&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?fit=600%2C183&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?fit=800%2C243&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?resize=1200%2C365&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-22-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Huffman-Walden\" class=\"wp-image-62862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?w=1840&amp;ssl=1 1840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?resize=600%2C183&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?resize=800%2C243&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?resize=640%2C195&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-22-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-Summary-Atascocita-Huffman-Walden.png?resize=1536%2C467&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">7-22-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides Summary Atascocita-Huffman-Walden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=128880410&#038;sampleGraph=true&#038;distanceMarkers=true\" style=\"width: 1px;
