I started a little later than I should&#8217;ve rolling out at 10:28 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. Because of the later start and wanting to possibly see other cyclists I chose the <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Spanish Cove &#8211; Walden<\/strong> route. I rearranged the streets in Kingwood moving the streets I ride at the start of the route until returning back in Kingwood. This would get me to FM 1960 quicker and increase the likelihood of seeing other cyclists. I didn&#8217;t hold a lot of hope but wanted to do my best. On the typical Saturday ride when I get to FM 1960 it is around 14 miles into the ride. Today it was 8.2 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All was going according to plan until about halfway across Lake Houston on the causeway the front tire went flat. I inspected the tire and found a small piece of glass stuck in the tire. I don&#8217;t like to fix a flat in that spot because of the traffic noise and no place to sit. The choice: walk back to Atascocita shores Drive or walk east to Lake Houston Brewery. I chose Lake Houston Brewery. You see a lot of things on a bike that you miss driving a car. Well you see even more walking compared to biking. All kinds of things: a box of Scott shop towels, turtles sitting on a log in the lake, a seaplane flying over the lake, and way too many screws and nails waiting to puncture a tire. I was glad I headed east when the flat happened. The Strava segment name is <em>Lake Houston Bridge &#8211; EB<\/em> versus the west bound segment name of <em>Bridge of Death<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I made it to Lake Houston Brewery. Found a shady spot with a piece of wood to sit on and proceeded to fix the flat. I had some trouble getting the tire bead off the rim to get the tube out but overcame that. I found the tiny hole the glass shard made, roughed up the tube, applied glue and waited a couple of minutes for that to dry. My patching skill is not the best but I got the patch in the right spot, aired up the tube to check my work and put the tube back in the tire. I was all set. When I reached Fairlake Lane I noticed the front tire seemed to have a flat spot and each revolution it bumped. I suspected the tire bead wasn&#8217;t seated properly but couldn&#8217;t tell for sure. When I got home I used a wheel truing stand to locate the flat spot. I marked the area with blue painter&#8217;s tape and inspected the bead. The section I marked appeared to not be seated fully on the rim lip. I released the air from the tire, massaged the bead and aired it back up. This took several tries before the bead looked to be seated. I checked the tire with the truing stand and the flat spot seemed to be gone. The next ride will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this overshadowed reaching 200+ miles for the week with the 34.51 miles from today&#8217;s bike ride putting me over the line. I rode this route 5 times in 2023 before today and today&#8217;s distance is about average. I saw 6 cyclists which exceeded my expectations. The weather was great: 78 degrees, humidity 57%, dew point 61.4, mostly cloudy, wind W 3 mph; Finish 89 degrees, humidity 35%, dew point 58.1, mostly cloudy, wind variable 6 mph. No need for an additional jersey. It was in the upper 50&#8217;s when I got up though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
