I thought about riding Zwift but I couldn&#8217;t pass all of the blue sky and sunshine even though it was a few degrees cooler than I prefer. Today I made a concerted effort to not repeat my bike computer pause error and not turning on the microphone for GoPro audio. I fined tuned the screen cues on the Bolt computer by switching screens to the map page just before recording on the GoPro and switching to another screen after stopping the GoPro recording. It wasn&#8217;t right on the money but it made searching for the spot in the Bolt computer screen capture a little easier to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route was a shorter one with me rolling out at 1:13 PM on the Cervelo Caledonia. Mostly on Kingwood streets, through Woodridge Forest, to US59 north frontage road. I turned right from that onto E. Martin Drive, crossing Loop 494 and the railroad tracks. I rode the long loop through Brooklyn Trails. Kelley Road south and back to Woodridge Forest. I caught the green light at Nothpark Drive going into North Woodland Hills, some side streets to add some distance (I think this accounts for today&#8217;s ride being longer than the 11\/24\/2023 ride). A few streets through South Woodland Hills took me to Woodland Hills Drive. On the east side of that street I biked through Bear Branch and ended the ride in Hunters Ridge at 2:38 PM. I call this the <strong>Kingwood &#8211; Brooklyn Trails<\/strong> route. No new streets, just a different combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the ride I hit a Strava <strong>3rd fastest time<\/strong>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10328738695\/segments\/3166857069338700166\">Kris Spraggins Memorial Route<\/a>&nbsp;(2:22).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 67
