I used a CO2 cartridge for the first time to air the tire up with a quick pop of the bead on the rim. I quickly turned the valve off leaving some amount of CO2 in the cartridge. Checking the tire before leaving on the ride it was firm, probably more than 80 psi that I am riding on my other bikes. This also is the first ride on a new Velo Senso TT+ saddle like the one on my Canyon Endurace but with tri-alloy rails instead of carbon. It was as comfortable as the one on the Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all of that out of the way I rolled out at 8:52 AM beating 9 AM for the first time this week. The forecast called for a high of 105 and I wanted to get back home before that happened. I finished at 11:49 AM but it was heating up. Space City Weather thinks we are near the end of 100+ days. I like hot weather but 100+ is going overboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride went north through Kingwood, Woodridge Forest, Brooklyn Trails before reaching the US59 north frontage road. I was riding my <strong>Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood<\/strong> route. I stayed on the frontage road to TX 99 where I rode to Loop 494. Loop 494 is much quieter than US59. I glanced at the construction around the Loop 494 bridge over Caney Creek and there was a lot equipment activity. Payne Road took me back to the frontage road and over Caney Creek where I made a u-turn under US59 to begin the ride back to Kingwood. Going through Valley Ranch, Briar Tree, and Oakhurst brought me closer to Kingwood. Another u-turn under US59, a short stretch on Loop 494 and I entered Kings Manor. The end was 4 miles away. I stopped at my dentist&#8217;s office to make an appointment and rode home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
