Riding on Via Principale Parkway I turned right onto Gran Roble Drive to explore the side streets. I last rode the <strong>New Caney &#8211; Tavola &#8211; Valley Ranch<\/strong> route on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32032483\">May 8th, 2024<\/a><\/strong>. I didn&#8217;t think it had been that long ago. No home construction on the streets I rode in Tavola. In Tavola West numerous homes are under construction. Today I changed the lead in from the start riding some streets in reverse or skipping them. In Elm Grove Village I rearranged the streets as well. From there the ride followed the usual streets. The previous 4 rides on the route this year average about 38 miles and today I rode 37.88 miles. This put me at 480.49 miles or 53% of my 908 mile goal, slightly ahead of the pace needed. I started at 9:42 AM and finished at 12:50 PM avoiding the heat of the day. During the ride the wind was 7 mph or less. On the way back to Kingwood I stopped under TX99 at Valley Ranch Parkway for a few minutes to enjoy the shade and sometime breeze. My Canyon Endurace bike now has 4079 miles. My legs felt good today propelling me along. The route only has a few long stretches to build up my average speed so I didn&#8217;t get to 14.0 mph overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 85 degrees, humidity 75%, dew point 76.1, a few clouds, wind NE 4 mph; @TX99 cloud cover 27%, wind NNE 3 mph; Finish 89 degrees, humidity 59%, dew point 72.6, partly cloudy, wind NE 7 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><div class=\"fatmap-embed-placeholder\" data-type=\"lived-adventure\" data-id=\"136200632\" data-animation=\"rotate\" 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\/11652211646\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1042\" height=\"1037\" data-attachment-id=\"65419\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-14-2024-strava-summary-new-caney-tavola-valley-ranch\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=1042%2C1037&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1042,1037\" 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=\"6-14-2024 Strava Summary New Caney-Tavola-Valley Ranch\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-14-2024 Strava Summary New Caney-Tavola-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6-14-2024 Strava Summary New Caney-Tavola-Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=452%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=603%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1042%2C1037&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-14-2024 Strava Summary New Caney-Tavola-Valley Ranch\" class=\"wp-image-65419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?w=1042&amp;ssl=1 1042w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=452%2C450&amp;ssl=1 452w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=603%2C600&amp;ssl=1 603w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-14-2024-Strava-Summary-New-Caney-Tavola-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=482%2C480&amp;ssl=1 482w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1042px) 100vw, 1042px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">6-14-2024 Strava Summary New Caney-Tavola-Valley Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A northerly ride to Tavola took me through several Kingwood villages, Woodridge Forest, Brooklyn Trails, Porter, and New Caney.
