Maybe February weather will be cooperative for more outside rides and reaching my 445 mile goal. I came up with a different route for today&#8217;s bike ride, <strong>Community Drive &#8211; Sorters Road &#8211; Forest Cove<\/strong>. No new streets just a different combination and direction on streets I ride. This route is a subset of <strong>Community Drive &#8211; Cumberland &#8211; Forest Cove<\/strong>. It was windy during today&#8217;s ride (more than yesterday). And my legs needed recovery time from almost 40 miles yesterday so I wanted to ride a shorter route. The bike ride didn&#8217;t turn out to be much shorter at 33.75 miles. Another reason was to check out the new location for Kingwood Bicycle on Hamblen Road. On the way back home I rode the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway to Marina Drive and then went to Hamblen Road. Riding around the center I didn&#8217;t see a sign for Kingwood Bicycle leading me to believe they aren&#8217;t there yet. I saw a comment on Strava a few days ago about the new location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the different street combination when I got to the Strava segment in elm Grove Village I was in the 35&#215;15 gears and powered to <strong>2nd fastest time<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10682713891\/segments\/3188587013191843894\">Kris Spraggins Memorial Route<\/a>\u00a0(2:16). This was mostly into the wind which surprised me a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride started at 11:06 AM with partly cloudy skies and a SE 12 mph wind. The 70 degrees let me wear a light long sleeve jersey under a wind jacket. For a number of miles this was comfortable but the clouds and wind increased making it feel cooler. Thankfully the last 4+ miles had a tailwind to help get to the 1:46 PM finish time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the ride the left shift lever wasn&#8217;t moving the rear cassette to a larger gear but would shift to a smaller gear. Sometimes I thought I was using the 1-9 gears but actually was in the 1-10 gears. No wonder it felt harder to pedal. The right shift lever seems to work fine. I will see if I can find the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><div class=\"fatmap-embed-placeholder\" data-type=\"lived-adventure\" data-id=\"105755220\" data-screen=\"elevation-profile\"><\/div>\n<script defer src=\"https:\/\/embeds.fatmap.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10682713891\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1039\" height=\"1033\" data-attachment-id=\"64526\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2-2-2024-strava-ride-summary-community-drive-sorters-road-forest-cove\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?fit=1039%2C1033&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1039,1033\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2-2-2024 Strava Ride Summary Community Drive-Sorters Road-Forest Cove\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;2-2-2024 Strava Ride Summary Community Drive-Sorters Road-Forest Cove&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;2-2-2024 Strava Ride Summary Community Drive-Sorters Road-Forest Cove&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?fit=453%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?fit=603%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?resize=1039%2C1033&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2-2-2024 Strava Ride Summary Community Drive-Sorters Road-Forest Cove\" class=\"wp-image-64526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?w=1039&amp;ssl=1 1039w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?resize=453%2C450&amp;ssl=1 453w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?resize=603%2C600&amp;ssl=1 603w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2-2-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-Community-Drive-Sorters-Road-Forest-Cove.png?resize=483%2C480&amp;ssl=1 483w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1039px) 100vw, 1039px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2-2-2024 Strava Ride Summary Community Drive-Sorters Road-Forest Cove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After missing my road mile goal for January it is encouraging that I&#8217;ve biked outdoors 5 days in a row including the first 2 days of February.
