Off to the south and east on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route for today’s bike ride. I rode 32.2 miles in great weather. Blue sky came back today and so did the warmer temperatures. At the 10:52 AM start it was 86 (69% humidity) warming to 91 (54% humidity) when I finished at 1:35 PM. Sweating was the order of the day but not like August. Wind was from the SE at 9 mph requiring more effort into the headwind but not strong enough to make a strong tailwind.

I stopped for a rest at the Huffman Chevron 21 miles into the ride. I was going to buy some blue Powerade from the beverage dispenser but they were out so I drank ice water which was just fine. For some energy to get to the finish I ate two fruit and grain cereal bars I brought along for the ride. The love bugs were not flying around today, thank goodness. After 20 minutes I was back on the bike for the 11+ miles to finish the ride.

Not much to see out of the ordinary except for the Harvey cleanup still going on in places. Some streets are almost debris free and others not.

I am at 5622 miles YTD leaving 378 miles to ride by the end of September to put me at 6000. 343 miles for September so far. If I ride those 378 miles I will hit 721 miles for the month.

More great bicycling weather tomorrow.
