My Other Bike – July 5th Bike Ride
Another bike lives in my garage! Today the ride was on my Motobecane 700HT MTB. It has been almost two months since I rode my MTB so I thought a change of pace was in order. I am not feeling 100% because of a mild case of sinusitis. Not sure what has irritated my sinus but it could have been the smog last week. Riding the Kingwood greenbelt trails the drought effects from last year are starting to go away as far as the undergrowth is concerned. Of course the trees are another story but small trees are growing up through the debris. At a park in Trailwood Village a toppled tree was a playground for young boys to climb on. I passed several swimming pools some were open and some were not. The trails were not heavily populated but I did pass several other bicyclists. I actually rode on a dirt section from North Park Drive to Kingwood Drive along the drainage bayou.
Riding in the woods the 8.1 mph south wind and sun were minimized. The temperature ranged from 86 to 91 under partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow I want to be back on my road bike if my sinus cooperate. 18.16 miles today, 82.67 miles this week and July, 3396.09 miles YTD.
