I rode my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. This positioned me to see other cyclists along the route and I did. The humidity was high at 83%, the temperature was 83 too. The wind continued to be in the single digits today. I thought maybe I was too early to see other cyclists but once I was biking east over Lake Houston I saw the first cyclist and then more after that. As I waited for the traffic light to change at Atascocita Shores Drive and FM1960 on the way to Walden a flurry of cyclists passed on the shoulder to my right. The hike and bike trail portion was uneventful until I neared the Firesign Drive benches and a tiny dog not on a leash ran towards me yipping. I slowed quickly to not run over him as the owner yelled the dog&#8217;s name and clapped his hands to no avail to stop the dog. I pedaled away with the little dog chasing beside my right wheel for 20 to 30 feet when he stopped. I don&#8217;t think he could reach my shoe to bite me. I don&#8217;t know if I can call this a &#8220;dog sprint&#8221;. The rest of the ride went as planned finishing at 10:59 AM. My kit was soaked from sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
