I managed to start 10 minutes earlier than yesterday at 9:03 AM on my Canyon Endurace. I rode south and east on a favorite route, <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman<\/strong>, for the 14th time this year. The typical distance is just over 34 miles but today I tipped in at 35.6 miles. August finished with 964.3 road miles plus 12 Zwift miles. Not as many as July but close considering I didn&#8217;t bike 4 days in August due to the extreme heat on Sunday after church. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia 12 times in August, the Canyon Endurace 13 times, and my Lynskey Helix 1 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another cyclist passed me in the first tenths&#8217; of mile on a street I can&#8217;t remember seeing a cyclist on before. We exchanged hellos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pleasant weather for the start with lower than usual dew point and humidity. Wind was light too. This will fade away over the next couple of days. Weather: Start 81 degrees, 57% humidity, dew point 64.0, clear, wind NE 5 mph; Finish 92 degrees, 38% humidity, dew point 63.0, clear, wind E 9 mph. It was cool enough for just a water bottle but I did stop at the Exxon station on FM 1960 at E. Lake Houston Parkway to refill with some ice for the rest of the bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
