The “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route was on the agenda for today. I did not delay the ride to watch the Tour de Portugal but I did watch the Vuelta de Burgos which started earlier. The ride started at 11:10 and I finished at 2:28. I rode 37.3 miles pushing the week to 71 miles leaving 129 miles to reach 200 for the week. No flat tires today and the rear tire still is rock hard proving that I can fix a flat but it may take several tries.

I stopped at the Cumberland Shell station on FM1314 for a break. It was hot and the shade was refreshing. My preferred fruit punch Gatorade was out and I settled for blue Powerade. I was there for about 35 minutes before leaving for the 14+ miles to home.

Now that I am home I will watch the Tour of Utah. My wife asked if I was getting too much bike racing. I told her when I worked and couldn’t watch the races and now that I am retired I can watch them. I enjoy the races and the scenery.
