After checking the area temperatures I was skeptical of the 74 degrees my home weather station showed. So I decided to dress warmer than I first planned. I wore shorts, a short sleeve jersey, long sleeve jersey, half finger gloves and a windbreaker jacket. That was a good choice. The wind had a chilly bite to it whenever I rode in the shade.

I left home at 12:20 to ride the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route thinking I would ride 31 miles or so. I ended up biking 32.16 miles. I stopped at the Huffman Chevron at the 20.55 mile point to eat, drink and rest up from the chilly wind. The time temperature sign across the street listed 69 degrees with an occasional 70 degrees while I sat in the sun eating. My phone screen shots showed this.

The rest stop didn’t last too long because I wanted to get on the bike before I cooled down too much. Riding west on FM1960 was easier than getting to Huffman with the wind now coming from my back or left side. Also I was in the sun which helped to warm me up. I got back home at 3:00 with the beautiful blue sky.

No police or sheriff action on today’s ride. Just a normal ride.

February miles total 224 now leaving 122 to reach my 346 goal for the month. The weather should warm up tomorrow and the following days so more biking for me. The Bull Dog Ride in Waller looks good for Saturday. It could reach 80 then.
