It didn&#8217;t feel like I was riding in a wet blanket for awhile. The temperature forecast didn&#8217;t change though, still 100+ by the afternoon. According to Space City Weather this will only last about 36 hours and then back to higher humidity and hot. Weather for the bike ride: Start 85 degrees, 64% humidity, dew point 71.8, a few clouds, wind NW 6 mph; Finish 94 degrees, 51% humidity, dew point 73.4, a few clouds, wind N 7 mph. I finished at 11:55 AM avoiding the 100+ part of the day. After the ride I watched the Vuelta a Burgos from Spain where the terrain looked like the drought dried land here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike on the route I ride most often in 2023, <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Spanish Cove Drive<\/strong>. SportTracks shows this was the 19th bike ride to Spanish Cove Drive. I saw several cyclists during the bike ride but no groups. I like this route because of the mixture of main streets, side streets, and rural roads. The start is easy and I memorized all of the bumps and potholes, even where the nails are at. A number of my routes sprout from this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
