Then I came up with the idea of riding last Sunday&#8217;s route in reverse with a few changes. I never rode this route in reverse so keeping the on the correct streets can be hard. I made two mistakes, one in Royal Brook and the other in Kingwood Greens. I got back on course after realizing the mistake. I have this thing about not riding the same streets twice during a ride where possible so I changed the early part going through North Woodland Hills Village and Woodridge Forest before joining the reversed streets from last week. The ride began at 1:31 PM pedaling my Lynskey Helix bike. It was 90 degrees with a SE 6 mph wind. Hot but not too bad. By the time I finished riding 26.12 miles at 3:40 PM it was 93 degrees and the SE wind increased to 12 mph. No wonder it felt harder when I rode into the wind. Riding through Towne Center Park a car show was on (see the video) with many cars and trucks on display. I set a Strava <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/11669084354\/segments\/3237523056651659276\">Soaring Woods Misty Broad Heavy Log Calm<\/a>\u00a0(4:14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The week recap of rides shows a total of 247.18 miles. I rode each day averaging 35.31 miles. Monday was the longest ride and Sunday the shortest. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia three times, Canyon Endurace three times, and Lynskey Helix once.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"599\" data-attachment-id=\"65436\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-16-2024-sporttracks-week-rides-recap-june-10-june-16\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?fit=1830%2C914&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1830,914\" 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=\"6-16-2024 SportTracks Week Rides Recap June 10 &amp;#8211; June 16\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-16-2024 SportTracks Week Rides Recap June 10 &amp;#8211; June 16&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6-16-2024 SportTracks Week Rides Recap June 10 &amp;#8211; June 16&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?fit=600%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?fit=800%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?resize=1200%2C599&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-16-2024 SportTracks Week Rides Recap June 10 - June 16\" class=\"wp-image-65436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?w=1830&amp;ssl=1 1830w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?resize=600%2C300&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?resize=800%2C400&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?resize=640%2C320&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-16-2024-SportTracks-Week-Rides-Recap-June-10-June-16.png?resize=1536%2C767&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">6-16-2024 SportTracks Week Rides Recap June 10 &#8211; June 16<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strava comparison of today and last Sunday&#8217;s bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid column1-desktop-grid__span-6 column1-desktop-grid__row-1 column2-desktop-grid__span-6 column2-desktop-grid__start-7 column2-desktop-grid__row-1 column1-tablet-grid__span-4 column1-tablet-grid__row-1 column2-tablet-grid__span-4 column2-tablet-grid__start-5 column2-tablet-grid__row-1 column1-mobile-grid__span-4 column1-mobile-grid__row-1 column2-mobile-grid__span-4 column2-mobile-grid__row-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid-column wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid__padding-none\">\n<div class=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"11669084354\" data-style=\"standard\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid-column wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid__padding-none\">\n<div class=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"11615385530\" data-style=\"standard\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I drove home from church I went over in my mind potential routes for the bike ride.
