A more descriptive  route name is <strong>New Caney &#8211; Gene Campbell Road &#8211; FM1314<\/strong>. I don&#8217;t think I rode the exact same streets because today I rode 39.23 miles and the average distance for this route is just under 39 miles. Remembering the streets after a 7 month absence is hard. The bike ride was on streets\/roads I ride weekly until I stayed on the US59 northbound frontage road after riding under the TX 99 overpass at Community Drive. With today&#8217;s bike ride I&#8217;m 59% of the way to my 799 road miles goal for April. I&#8217;m trying to get ahead in case the weather acts up. I delayed the start to watch the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s Fl\u00e8che Wallonne race from Belgium until 11:40 AM and finished at 2:35 PM. The Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike was my choice today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legs felt good today powering my overall average speed up to 14.4 mph for several miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 77 degrees, humidity 81%, dew point 71.2, overcast, wind SSE 10 mph; Finish 79 degrees, humidity 75%, dew point 70.3, cloudy, wind SE 13 mph. Riding SE on FM1314 was the hardest due to the headwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=165870023&#038;sampleGraph=true&#038;distanceMarkers=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 90%; height: 800px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" data-attachment-id=\"64991\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/4-17-2024-strava-ride-summary-new-caney-gene-campbell-blvd\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?fit=1040%2C606&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1040,606\" 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=\"4-17-2024 Strava Ride Summary New Caney-Gene Campbell Blvd\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-17-2024 Strava Ride Summary New Caney-Gene Campbell Blvd&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;4-17-2024 Strava Ride Summary New Caney-Gene Campbell Blvd&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?fit=600%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?fit=800%2C466&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?resize=800%2C466\" alt=\"4-17-2024 Strava Ride Summary New Caney-Gene Campbell Blvd\" class=\"wp-image-64991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?resize=800%2C466&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?resize=600%2C350&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?resize=640%2C373&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-17-2024-Strava-Ride-Summary-New-Caney-Gene-Campbell-Blvd.png?w=1040&amp;ssl=1 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">4-17-2024 Strava Ride Summary New Caney-Gene Campbell Blvd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I dusted off a route I haven&#8217;t rode since September 20th, 2023, New Caney &#8211; Gene Campbell Road.
