Dry Fall Weather Bike Ride
It rained most of yesterday so no bike ride but the weather today was much better. I left home at 10;41 AM riding the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. The temperature was 81 (79% humidity) with mostly cloudy sky and an east wind at 10 mph. My goal was to ride at least 32 miles and I succeeded coming in at 33.6 miles.
Nothing unusual on today’s ride and the replacement tube in the rear tire from Monday’s flat is holding pressure perfectly. I am thinking the piece of glass that caused the flat made a very slow leak before the tire went flat. I saw a couple of other bikers and when I rode past the church on Fairlake Drive three cars with bike racks were parked there. The owners must have been riding east of FM 2100.
A quick stop at the Huffman Chevron for ice and water was the only break today. After that I was back on the bike headed back to Kingwood to finish the ride. I pushed the stop button on the Elemnt computer at 1:11 PM. During the ride I found that the latest update to the Elemnt added the lap notification back. I missed it. The temperature at the finish was 85 with 74% humidity. The daily high will probably not get into the 90’s any more this year unless there is a heat wave.
More good weather on Thursday and I plan on riding.
