I hoped this didn&#8217;t rule out seeing other cyclists as I rode my <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden<\/strong> route aboard my Cervelo Caledonia bike. That turned out not to be the case with possibly the most cyclists I&#8217;ve seen on a Saturday bike ride in sometime. The first cyclist came by on Kings River Drive as I headed to FM 1960. The last group caught up to me at FM 2100 and Old Atascocita Road on the way to Huffman. They went straight and I turned right on FM 2100 for Huffman. Later when I stopped at the Exxon store at E. Lake Houston Parkway 2 cyclists from that group rode through the parking lot on their way to the donut shop, I think. I filled my water bottle there and headed west over Lake Houston not facing a strong headwind for a change. A loop through Walden and I started back to Kingwood, finishing at 10:50 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting that early meant the temperature hadn&#8217;t reached 80 yet but the humidity was high. It felt cooling for awhile and riding south on Fairlake Lane in the shade was refreshing with the breeze cooling effect. I got back home before the temperature hit 90. Weather: Start 78 degrees, 86% humidity, dew point 73.9, partly cloudy, wind calm; Finish 88 degrees, 61% humidity, dew point 72.6, mostly cloudy, wind SW 6 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ninth time biking this route in 2023 not counting the two rides in reverse. All but one of the rides was on my Cervelo bike. Today&#8217;s 34.23 miles was the average distance for the route and improved the week&#8217;s total to 223.04 miles and July to 945 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
