Riding to Huffman was a struggle on today’s ride. When I left home at 12:15 the wind was gusting to 19 mph. The temperature was rotating between 77 and 78 degrees and the sky was mostly cloudy. I was riding the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” for the umpteenth time this year. This route is an easy one to ride allowing me to exit Kingwood easily. I was on my Stradalli RP-14 road bike which I like to ride. With the strong wind I didn’t set a great average speed on the way to Huffman but after a 25 minute rest stop at the Huffman Chevron I took advantage of the tailwind to make up some of the time I lost riding into the wind. It was 20.94 miles into the ride when I stopped at the Chevron station around 2:45. The weather while I was there.

While I was at the Chevron station I could see the sky turning gray overcast to the west. I rode the 11+ miles from Huffman to home without the sun I enjoyed on the way there. Without the sun it felt cooler. I wore a long sleeve jersey but I wished I had a short sleeve one too for those last 11 miles.

Another cool front is supposed to pass through during Tuesday night. I don’t know if this will affect my riding or not.

Not that anyone is interested but below is a recap of the rides on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” this year.
