It was good to be back on the bike today. Saturday the rain fell in huge amounts. My home weather station recorded 8.71″ on Saturday and .54″ on Sunday. Needless to say, I stayed inside.

I rode the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route for the umpteenth time. Nothing out of the ordinary except for the high water in Lake Houston. Riding east on the FM1960 causeway the high water was evident on the little islands in the lake which were smaller. The light breeze and mostly cloudy sky contrasted sharply with the dark sky and gusty winds over the weekend.

At 19.25 miles I stopped at the Huffman Chevron for a short rest break. Rather than the usual Powerade I had a A&W 10 Root Beer. The taste was good but I don’t think I need the carbonation. The weather during the break.

I left the Chevron thinking I would hit the traffic when I reached Kingwood Drive but when I got there the traffic was almost stopped due a backup. I got across through the traffic after a few cars stopped and allowed me to cross. I got home at 3:14 after leaving home at 12:33.

Now that daylight savings time ended Sunday I will need to leave sooner if I do a longer ride. The weather is supposed to be in the upper 70’s to low 80’s this week. Rain is possible late in the week.
