With that in mind I chose a 40+ mile route for today&#8217;s bike ride and added to the distance. I wanted to ride where the flooding would not be a problem today. I chose the <strong>Kingwood &#8211; FM1314 NW to McQueen Road<\/strong> route. The last time I rode this route was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30906047\">May 15th, 2023<\/a><\/strong>. I&#8217;m not sure why I haven&#8217;t biked it sooner. The average distance for the previous 9 rides was around 40 to 41 miles. Today I rode 45.48 miles to catch up. To reach my May goal I need to average 25 miles every day. I should be at 150 miles and with today&#8217;s ride I&#8217;m at 99.56 miles. Getting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride started at 11:01 AM after watching stage 3 of the Giro d&#8217;Italia. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike. Getting to McQueen Road was aided by the SSE tailwind with 20+ mph gusts. Those same gusts made it tough biking back into the headwind. I stopped at the Sorters road Circle K and bought a 32 oz Berry Mountain Power Ade drink. I took the time to rest before tackling the remaining 13 miles. My legs were better after resting 10 or 15 minutes and the headwind didn&#8217;t seem as strong. I finished at 2:48 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 81 degrees, humidity 81%, dew point 74.3, 90% cloud cover, wind SSE 10 mph gusts 18 mph; Circle K Sorters Road 83 degrees, humidity 71%, dew point 73, 76% cloud cover, wind SSE 14 mph gusts 22 mph; Finish 83 degrees, humidity 75%, dew point 74.6, 57% cloud cover, wind SSE 14 mph gusts 23 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=174328735&#038;sampleGraph=true&#038;distanceMarkers=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 85%; height:
