That describes today&#8217;s bike ride. I started at 10:56 AM riding my Cervelo Caledonia bike. I waited for the streets to dry some after some light rain earlier. I planned on biking north following the <strong>Kingwood &#8211; FM1485 &#8211; Kingwood<\/strong> route. Yesterday I didn&#8217;t think biking outdoors would happen because of rain but the rain stopped and the streets dried off. It was promising until Log Orchard Lane in Woodridge Forest. I rounded the turn and saw rain up ahead. That&#8217;s when it wasn&#8217;t promising anymore. I turned around and pedal hard to the Woodridge Forest Pool but not fast enough. The rain caught me and I got soaked. It looked like the rain would last for awhile but it slowed and then stopped. The streets were wet but it was promising again and I left the sanctuary of the pool cover. At first I said to myself ride to Brooklyn Trails and see if the rain stays away. I got there and no rain. The next goal was FM1314, no rain there. Somewhere between FM1314 and TX99 the damp road turned to dry like it hadn&#8217;t rained so the plan was to continue to New Caney, ride under US59 on the south side of Caney Creek and then ride south. That&#8217;s what happened. On Valley Ranch Parkway the damp road reappeared but no rain. I rode through Briar Tree, Oakhurst, Kings Manor and into Kingwood but to the south the overcast sky looked like it might rain. I finished at 1:45 PM with no more rain. I washed the Cervelo and not long after it started raining. But I was inside now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 78 degrees, humidity 90%, dew point 74.8, cloud cover 89%, wind ENE 17 mph gusts 24 mph; Finish 84 degrees, humidity 80%, dew point 771. cloud cover 72%, wind NE 14 mph gusts 24 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><div class=\"fatmap-embed-placeholder\" data-type=\"lived-adventure\" data-id=\"137494936\" 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\/11691837852\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1041\" height=\"1035\" data-attachment-id=\"65447\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/6-19-2024-strava-summary-kingwood-fm1485-kingwood\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=1041%2C1035&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1041,1035\" 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=\"6-19-2024 Strava Summary Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;6-19-2024 Strava Summary Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6-19-2024 Strava Summary Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=453%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?fit=603%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=1041%2C1035&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-19-2024 Strava Summary Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood\" class=\"wp-image-65447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?w=1041&amp;ssl=1 1041w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=453%2C450&amp;ssl=1 453w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=603%2C600&amp;ssl=1 603w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-19-2024-Strava-Summary-Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood.png?resize=483%2C480&amp;ssl=1 483w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">6-19-2024 Strava Summary Kingwood-FM1485-Kingwood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first it was promising, then not promising and then promising again.
