Beautiful Sunday Bike Ride
I rode the Blue Norcross AL on today’s bike ride on the “Oakhurst – Valley Ranch” course for a total of 27 miles. With those miles the total for the week was 244.4 miles, just .5 of a mile short of the equaling the most miles for a week this year. Maybe I should’ve lapped the block a couple of times to break that record. I now need 287 miles the rest of September to reach 6,000 for the year. Once I reach that level I should be able to ride 7,000+ miles by the end of the year.
The ride started late (12:44 PM) because I worked on my wife’s email program to fix a problem and after church. By then the temperature was 91 with 65% humidity but the wind was calm which was nice in a way except for drying up sweat whenever I stopped. The sky was mostly cloudy. I finished the ride at 2:50 PM and there wasn’t any change in the weather.
Making a quick stop at the Valley Ranch Texaco to refill my water bottle was it for today. A photo before I got back on the bike.
The building has had several fast food restaurants but all have closed. Today as I was riding out of the parking lot there was a sign saying “Coming Soon – Dickey’s BBQ”. They also had a sign on the door to hire workers for the restaurant. Maybe this one will survive?
Leaving the Texaco station I rode south along I-69/US59 on the service road to Northpark Drive. I rode north and then east through Woodridge Forest and then into Kingwood to finish the ride.
No bike ride tomorrow (Monday) but I should be back biking on Tuesday.
