The temperature was 85 and the humidity a not too heavy 72%. I last rode this route on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/31136761\">July 19th for 35.08 miles<\/a><\/strong>. That ride was on my Lynskey Helix bike. My week total miles sat at 154 as I began the ride today. Finishing at 11:34 AM after biking 34.62 miles put the week at 188.82, well within range of a 200+ mile week with tomorrow&#8217;s bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No issues from the different saddle on the Canyon Endurace. It was comfortable and the position was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s ride covered a few different streets. I used a longer greenbelt trail at the beginning and at TX 99 I stayed on the frontage road to Eagle Drive then to Loop 494. The slow uphill from Loop 494 to the US59\/I-69 frontage road stressed my legs but not too hard. At the top going over the freeway a speedy downhill awaited to take me to Valley Ranch. Traffic was accommodating giving me the room I needed. Riding through Suncliff in Valley Ranch, Forest Colony, and the Azalea District took me to Valley Ranch Parkway and onto FM 1314. A slight headwind on FM 1314 slowed me some to the turn around at Cumberland Blvd. That headwind changed to a angled crosswind interrupted by the trees on my right to Old Sorters Road. I made a water and ice stop at the Circle K at Sorters Road. That left Briar Tree, Oakhurst to ride through to Northpark Drive. The final 7 miles went smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 85 degrees, 72% humidity, dew point 74.8, a few clouds, wind calm; Finish 89 degrees, 58% humidity, dew 72.0, mostly clear, wind S 5 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
