I started a little later than what I have lately due to some errands leaving home at 10:59. I thought this later start would position me to see the Amtrak train go through Huffman around 1;00 but it didn’t happen. I waited until 1:15 but no Amtrak train. There are two tracks Amtrak can take and I guess today they went on the other one.

Riding to Huffman via Atascocita and Walden I saw two other bicyclists, one of them I saw twice. The first biker was waiting for the light to change at Atascocita Shores Dr. and FM1960. I was riding to FM1960 from the south on Atascocita Shores. I didn’t have to wait for the light to change so I was on the causeway over Lake Houston before him but about half way over the causeway he caught with me and rode on. Later as I rode on Fairlake Drive the other cyclist passed me going the opposite direction. I waved but he didn’t.

The weather started out at 86 degrees (63% humidity) and when I was in Huffman waiting at the Chevron station it was 93 according to my phone. As I rode home from there the clouds increased and the temperature went to 84 (91% humidity).  The wind was from the south at 10 mph with 18 mph gusts at the start but turned calm at the end of the ride (2:02 pm).

Nothing unusual about today’s ride. I biked 32.01 miles averaging 15.4 mph.

Mileage standings:

• 137.02 miles this week
• 420.58 miles in June (465 miles left to reach the 885 mile goal)
• 2824 miles year to date
• Links to Garmin Connect and RideWithGPS

Late yesterday afternoon I drove to Porter on an errand. I went on Adams St. to see how the resurfacing was going and the asphalt has not been put down yet. I will need to avoid this street for a few more days.

There is a chance of rain during later tonight and into Friday morning. This might delay tomorrow’s ride.
