I got an early start leaving home at 8:33. The humidity was a strong 97% I and suffered from it all the way to Huffman and back. In Huffman the stop at the Chevron station consisted of soaking up sweat. I was on a shorter time line today so I didn’t want to speed too long at the Chevron station. After drying off some the ride back home was a little better. At least my glasses didn’t get a streak of sweat down them like they did getting to Huffman. My gloves were so wet I wrung them out and put them in paper towels to dry them out some. Sitting on the concrete left a big wet spot. I used about 20 paper towels to try to stem the perspiration before resuming the ride.

Four other riders were out braving the humidity. Two were on Fairlake Drive, one on FM1960 over Lake Houston and the last on Atascocita Shores Drive.

The temperature at the beginning was 79 and 88 when I got home at 11:06. The humidity was 88% at the end. I walked from the garage to our master bathroom and hear a clap of thunder. A couple of minutes later it began raining. I got home just in the nick of time but I could get much wetter so the rain wouldn’t made much difference except for the dirt.

The metrics below recap the ride. Biked 31.75 miles.
