The streets were damp when I started today&#8217;s bike ride at 11:43 AM from an earlier light rain. I rode my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike heading north on the <strong>New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest Blvd &#8211; Oakhurst<\/strong> route for the second time this year. As I rode through Hunters Ridge Village, Elm Grove Village, Sherwood Trails Village, and Woodridge Forest I wondered if I would make it to Roman Forest Blvd. because of the patches of light rain I went through. When I reached Brooklyn Trails the clouds behind turned lighter and I didn&#8217;t ride in any more rain. The SE wind increased from 13 mph to 14 mph with 24 mph gusts during the ride until I finished at 2:23 PM. That explained the hard pedaling on the way back to Kingwood. It was warm enough for a long sleeve poly T-shirt under a short sleeve jersey. I rode twice on the Strava KPHS sprint segment to build up my Local Legend stats. For some reason this segment is near and dear to me. I have other Strava Local Legend segments that I don&#8217;t ride extra times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I haven&#8217;t included the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1709574201\">AXS SRAM Ride Report link<\/a><\/strong> for awhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 77 degrees, humidity 80%, dew point 70.6, overcast, wind SE 13 mph; Finish 80 degrees, humidity 74%, dew point 70.9, mostly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph gusts 24 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><div
