Sunday MTB Ride on Kingwood’s Greenbelt Trails
Back to riding the Kingwood greenbelt trails today. I needed to drop off a letter at the Kingwood post office and from there I went south on W. Lake Houston Parkway over the San Jacinto River. The sun was out and the temperature was 75 degrees. I wore a long sleeve jersey and was quite comfortable even in the shade. The ride moved me to 6407 miles for 2015, only 93 miles away from my goal for 2015. My wife is concerned that my riding intensity has dropped off but with the weather cooling down, less daylight and almost to my goal with over a month to go I am taking it easy. This is a good time to add some variety. Tomorrow (Monday) and the 2 days after that could be wet which will limit my riding.
As I rode over the San Jacinto River there were two pontoon boats on the water enjoying the sun. It is still warm enough to be there but I think I would pass on water skiing.
A number of people were on the trails and another MTB rider passed me in a full kit with helmet. Most of the people riding on the trails do not wear helmets.
Mileage as of today:
- 63.77 miles this week
- 173.67 miles in November
- 6407 miles year to date
10th time riding my MTB this year.
