A new week and I hit the road on my Stradalli Red Pro 14 bike. I rode the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route for a total of 34.1 miles. Now that I am within 254 miles of hitting the June mileage goal this week’s bike rides will be in the 30 mile range. With today’s ride I am 220 miles away from the goal. I started a little later at 11:42 and finished at 2:15 pm. No bike races to watch this week so the rides should start earlier than recent ones getting out and back before the temperature soars. The temperature range today was 91 to 93 with partly cloudy sky and a light 3 mph breeze.

The new Primal Wear Lucent Black Label jersey was perfect and wicked away the moisture as I rode. This is the last of the new jerseys I bought last week.

Hanging on the refrigerator is not the most picturesque view though.

I stopped at the Stripes station at FM 1314 and Valley Ranch Parkway. As I was getting ready to walk inside to refill my water bottle a Jeep Wrangler wheeled by catching my eye. This time I thought to take a picture.

The red rims and fender outlines set off the black paint. There is a snorkel on the passenger “A” pillar in case this beauty goes underwater.

I stopped just a few minutes and was back on the bike to finish the ride through Briar Tree, Oakhurst and Kings Manor before entering Kingwood proper.
