Riding the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route today I saw four other bikers, two of them twice. I thought my late start (11:56) would mean the other bikers would already be finished. I rode 33.54 miles averaging 14.1 mph. This week the weather has moderated from the upper 90’s to 100 degrees of two weeks ago. It was in the mid 80’s most of the ride but that didn’t keep me from sweating heavily. The overcast sky kept the heat down as well. The wind from the NNE at 9 mph made the ride to Huffman tough and the ride home from there much easier.

The rest stop at the Huffman Chevron came at 21.7 miles into the ride arriving at 1:36.

While I was resting at the station the two bikers I saw earlier in Kingwood Greens pulled into the station and we chatted. At our first meeting I didn’t know they were behind me and I made a turn in front of them onto a side street. I rolled out of the station about 2:10 to head back to Kingwood. I finished the ride at 2:59.

So far I biked 685 miles in August toward my 800 mile goal. Earlier I thought reaching my goal would be hard but now I think I might get there.

Rain chances increase tomorrow (Sunday). I may get rained out.
