Rolling out at 10:34 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike the route, <strong>New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest &#8211; Valley Ranch<\/strong>, was one I had not rode since <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/31453676\">October 20th, 2023<\/a><\/strong>. I nibbled around the edge of Roman Forest on recent rides into Tavola. After a long absence I wondered if anything changed. Biking through Tavola brought me to Roman Forest Blvd. As I turned right and crossed Peach Creek the Roman Forest sign in the median was the same as the last time. I rode Magnolia Bend to Willoway then Dogwood Lane to Appian Way. Galaxy Blvd. south to the first crossover and then a u-turn crossing Appian Way was how I rode to Roman Forest Blvd. to begin the journey to US59. Up that point the wind wasn&#8217;t much of an issue though I felt it was stronger than the 12 mph when I started. The ordeal began as I made the left turn under US59 into the wind. My legs had no zip and I shifted to the 35&#215;15 gears to try and compensate. Making the turn onto Valley Ranch Parkway gave me a short relief until passing the Randall Reed Stadium. Under TX 99 I took a 15 minute break to rest, eat a granola bar, and enjoy the breeze in the shade. Back on the bike the 2 miles to FM1314 was a slow ride into the wind. A couple places with tree on the left side of the road helped. Through Briar Tree and entering Oakhurst I watched the spot where the dog spring happened Sunday but thankfully the dog was absent. My legs were doubtful if it was there. I pedaled on back to Kingwood and finished at 2:29 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos from the Tavola pool. A lady was kind enough to take the one with me in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
