A plain Jane ride to wrap up June’s bike rides on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. I was surprised to see another biker as I rode through Sherwood Trails Village in Kingwood. I don’t remember seeing another biker there. Later I saw several other bikers in Kingwood and Atascocita. The weather was a little milder than yesterday thanks to the rain. As I started the ride at 10:32 moving through the air felt cooling even without any perspiration flowing yet. It was 86 degrees under scattered clouds with 76% humidity. The wind was barely moving until I started to ride into it. I rode some different streets and directions while I was still in Kingwood to add some mileage to the ride. The ended up being 33.9 miles long. I thought I added enough extra streets as I neared home to get over 34 miles but I miscalculated.

Nothing unusual along today’s route. I made the typical rest stop at the Huffman Chevron arriving there at 12:08. I took these pictures of the Elemnt screens when I arrived there.

It looked like the breeze was not going to blow through the pump canopy area when I prepared to sit down but then it slowly start moving starting to dry up some of the sweat. I used a lot of paper towels drying my wrist bands and soaking up the beads of sweat on my arms. The newspaper I sat on absorbed some of the moisture from my shorts. When I got ready to leave and picked the newspaper up it was heavier. The 32 oz. PowerAde and snack bars helped recharge me for the 11+ mile ride to home. I got back on the bike around 12:47 and rolled out to FM1960.

The ride back home generally was into the light wind but I still managed to improve the overall average speed. I was back home at 1:37 ready to enjoy the A/C.

My next biking day will be Friday.
