Huffman was today’s destination. I did not ride the usual Huffman route but an abbreviated one 27.33 miles long. Average speed was 15.6 mph. The weather was humid with 95 % at my home weather station and 65% at the IAH weather station. The temperature was 84 when I left home at 11:46 and 88 when I got back at 1:48. My stop at the Huffman Chevron was short because I needed to get back home. I stopped long enough to finish my water bottle and dry off some. No rain today so there have been two days in a row that I did not bike in the rain.

No unusual happenings on the ride. I continue to get compliments on my bike. While I was at the Chevron a young man came in driving an older Ford Ranger with a 4 wheeler in the back. When He walked inside the store he asked if my bike was expensive. I don’t have a good answer but I told him it cost twice as much as my first car. Later when I was in Town Center in Kingwood a young man by Mooyah Burger called out that he thought my bike was good looking. I have owned many bikes but this one has to be the one I have received the most comments about.
