There may be a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico and Eric Berger (Houston Chronicle) was even brave enough to mention that a cool front (yes they still can happen) could arrive next week. Of course the definition of a &#8220;cool&#8221; front is a stretch but we can use the relief. The mostly cloudy skies held the temperature down somewhat during the ride with the range being 81 to 90 degrees. Even though I could feel a hint of coolness the sweat glands were working overtime. No other bikers crossed my path.<\/p>\n<p>My ride was <strong>25.69 miles<\/strong> long at an average speed of 14.9 mph. While the average speed was a little lower than I wanted I did keep the average cadence at 80.2 RPM. This must been a result of the return portion of the ride when I had the 12 mph tailwind. I ran out of gas when I turned back north into the wind at the 20 mile mark and then moved into a residential area where is difficult to keep the speed up.<\/p>\n<p>So far September miles are at <strong>55.25<\/strong> and year to date miles are <strong>4112.05<\/strong>. Today was my last biking day until I get back from vacation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9631\" style=\"width: 947px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
