(Should&#8217;ve started earlier) Riding my Cervelo Caledonia on a modified <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32103957\">Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Indian Shores Road<\/a><\/strong> route I mostly succeeded. When I got to Kingwood Park High School traffic was heavy but an officer motioned the cars through the intersection and I went with them. Later crossing Kingwood Drive another officer waved the east bound traffic continuously without allowing the cross traffic to move even when the lanes were stopped. I inched out and rode across during one of the traffic backups. I&#8217;m not sure what good the officer did only allowing east bound cars to move. They would&#8217;ve done that without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I passed that bottleneck no more school traffic problems. I thought my legs were getting tired because I couldn&#8217;t build up speed but the wind strengthened after the ride started coming from the SE at 14 mph with 18 mph gusts. I took advantage of the wind on the way back from Indian Shores Road increasing my speed and overall average speed. I claimed the Strava <strong>Local Legend<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/11535340600\/segments\/3231345197587206478\">Bridge Drag Reverse<\/a>\u00a0(2:30).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 85 degrees, humidity 74%, dew point 76.0, mostly cloudy, wind SE 7 mph; Finish 90 degrees, humidity 65%, dew point 76.2, mostly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph gusts 18 mph. I used my CamelBak for hydration and a few ice cubes were left when I finished at 2:31 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/31424737\">October 12th, 2023<\/a><\/strong>, the last time I rode this route. That ride was 40.23 miles and today I biked 39.40 miles. May is the most miles (917.68) in a month since last October&#8217;s 934.28. If the weather cooperates tomorrow I could beat October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><div class=\"fatmap-embed-placeholder\" data-type=\"lived-adventure\" data-id=\"132491510\" 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\/11535340600\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1039\" height=\"1036\" data-attachment-id=\"65314\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-30-2024-strava-summary-atascocita-walden-indian-shores-road\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?fit=1039%2C1036&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1039,1036\" 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=\"5-30-2024 Strava Summary Atascocita-Walden-Indian shores Road\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-30-2024 Strava Summary Atascocita-Walden-Indian shores Road&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;5-30-2024 Strava Summary Atascocita-Walden-Indian shores Road&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?fit=451%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?fit=602%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?resize=1039%2C1036&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-30-2024 Strava Summary Atascocita-Walden-Indian shores Road\" class=\"wp-image-65314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?w=1039&amp;ssl=1 1039w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?resize=451%2C450&amp;ssl=1 451w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?resize=602%2C600&amp;ssl=1 602w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-30-2024-Strava-Summary-Atascocita-Walden-Indian-shores-Road.png?resize=481%2C480&amp;ssl=1 481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1039px) 100vw, 1039px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">5-30-2024 Strava Summary Atascocita-Walden-Indian shores Road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last day of school for Humble ISD and I tried to avoid them after starting the bike ride at 11:08 AM.
