I wanted to get to FM1960 where I begin seeing other cyclists on Saturday. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike on what I call the <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Huffman &#8211; Walden<\/strong> route but that name covers many route differences. I changed the streets until about 4 miles before returning to the usual one. Strava found one other ride that matched this route from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7329568749\">Saturday June 18th, 2022<\/a><\/strong>. I&#8217;m not sure how exact a route has to be for a match but that one did. As I rode over Lake Houston going east I spotted the first group of cyclists. From there I saw more but not as many as last Saturday. A group of 5 passed me at the Huffman Chevron station as I was leaving. I don&#8217;t usually see other cyclists at that spot but later at Fairlake Lane. The 4 mph wind wasn&#8217;t a factor in the ride no matter which direction I rode. The legs were good over the mostly flat roads and streets. I finished before the heat at 10:51 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riding through Walden I was tempted to check out the mud under FM1960 on the Atascocita Hike and Bike Trail but I didn&#8217;t give in. I&#8217;ll give the county maintenance crew more time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
