I managed to start today&#8217;s bike ride at 8:45 AM to get in front of 103 or 104 degrees later today. Maybe a shorter ride would have been in order but I rode the <strong>New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest &#8211; Valley Ranch<\/strong> route for 44.23 miles. The last time biked this route was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30896303\">May 12th<\/a><\/strong> going 44.78 miles. Today&#8217;s bike ride put me over the halfway mark for August with 443.1 miles. I rode my Canyon Endurace bike and to combat the heat I packed extra water using a water bottle and CamelBak. I stopped under TX 99 on Valley Ranch Parkway for a snack break and water. To be safe I stopped at the 7 Eleven at FM 1314 for ice. I added the ice to the CamelBak and refilled the water bottle. There wasn&#8217;t much left when I finished at 12:56 PM. It was hot! Only the third ride on this route in 2023. I rode through Roman Forest on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/31124391\">New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest &#8211; Splendora route on July 17th<\/a><\/strong>. A similar route but going north on Tram Road to FM 2090 instead of riding Roman Forest Blvd. back to US59\/I-69.<\/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\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"232\" data-attachment-id=\"63036\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/8-14-2023-sporttracks-2023-rides-new-caney-roman-forest-valley-ranch\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=1826%2C353&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1826,353\" 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=\"8-14-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides New Caney-Roman Forest-Valley Ranch\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;8-14-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides New Caney-Roman Forest-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;8-14-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides New Caney-Roman Forest-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=600%2C116&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=800%2C155&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1200%2C232&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"8-14-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides New Caney-Roman Forest-Valley Ranch\" class=\"wp-image-63036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?w=1826&amp;ssl=1 1826w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=600%2C116&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=800%2C155&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=640%2C124&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8-14-2023-SportTracks-2023-Rides-New-Caney-Roman-Forest-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1536%2C297&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">8-14-2023 SportTracks 2023 Rides New Caney-Roman Forest-Valley Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: Start 86 degrees, 78% humidity, dew point 78.4, partly cloudy, wind calm; Finish 96 degrees, 48% humidity, dew point 73.3, partly cloudy, wind SW 12 mph.
