My Cervelo Caledonia carried me under an overcast sky starting at 9:45 AM. I rode through a couple patches of mist but no rain. The last time I rode this route was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/32174510\">June 27th<\/a><\/strong> covering 38.47 miles and today I rode 38.37 miles. The challenge on this route is the two &#8220;climbs&#8221; up the railroad overpass on Timber Forest Drive. Thankfully the wind came at my sides. I stopped for a few minutes at the Blue Lagoon but no one was in the water. I made the u-turn at W. Lake Houston Parkway after riding there with mostly a tailwind. That meant a headwind on the way back. My legs had a tough time into the wind. I stopped at the Chevron station at FM1960 for a snack and rest my legs for the last 8 miles. I didn&#8217;t follow the same streets today compared to the last ride. I finished at 1:14 PM. Looking at my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/axs.sram.com\/activities\/wahoo-262128671__1725547505\">AXS.SRAM.com<\/a><\/strong> ride report I made 45 rear derailleur shifts more than a typical ride.
