During the ride I went through Woodridge Forest, Tavola West, Valley Ranch, Briar Tree, Oakhurst, Kings Manor, and back into Kingwood. I call this the <strong>New Caney &#8211; Roman Forest Blvd &#8211; Oakhurst<\/strong> route. The last time on this route was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32181760\">July 1st<\/a><\/strong>. I left at 10:10 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. I&#8217;m happy to report the front disc adjustment has silenced the chirping with the wheel purring along. The wind was light but the temperature wasn&#8217;t. The ride ended at 1:22 PM. I stopped for a few minutes under TX99 to sip water, enjoy some shade and a light breeze at times. The 7Eleven at FM1314 allowed me to fill my water bottle with ice to get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
