I wanted to ride at least 31 miles but not too many more in preparation for the HH100 on Saturday. I thought today would be a relative easy ride and it was except for the heat by the time I finished at 11:47 AM. The high forecast was 107 and it was 99 when I finished. I thought finishing before noon the temperature wouldn&#8217;t be so close to the projected high. I rolled out at 8:54 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia headed to US59 and north. The wind was from the NW so I had some headwind getting to the turn around at Caney Creek. This meant there should&#8217;ve been a tailwind on the ride back south and part of the way I enjoyed a tailwind. I made a stop under TX 99 on Valley Ranch Parkway to eat a couple of oatmeal raisin cookies and drink some cold water from my CamelBak thinking the wind would be refreshing but the overpass blocked most of it. I had enough cold water left that I didn&#8217;t need to stop at the 7 Eleven for a refill. In fact when I got home the CamelBak still had ice when I emptied it. This was the 14th ride on this route this year. The last ride I tweaked the route some and rode 35.16 miles while the average is around 32 miles and I rode 32.43 miles today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
