I wasn’t planning on biking today but things changed and I biked the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. The weather was much better than what we endured last week.

The breeze was cooling and the humidity was much lower than last week when all of the rain was being sucked back into the sky.

I wasn’t able to ride with speed today. The wind speed wasn’t that much but my legs didn’t have the energy to keep above 17 or 18 mph most of the ride. It took 22 miles to get the average speed to 15.0 mph. Once I got it there I was able to maintain it until 31 miles and then it dropped as I rode back home through Kingwood.

The rest stop in Huffman was enjoyable sitting under the canopy with a light breeze blowing through. Watching all of the traffic makes you wonder where everyone is going. Retirement puts a different perspective as you watch people move about.

Starting off a new month hopefully we get some dry weather. My goal for June is 968 miles, the same as June 2014. Last year I rode 27 days averaging 36 miles per day. I hope the weather cooperates this year like it did last year.
