The warm weather continues making today’s bike ride feel more like summer. This will probably end later today when the front passes through. The route for today’s ride: “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” for a total of 33.6 miles. November now totals 170 miles, 190 more to reach my goal, and YTD I am at 6991 miles, 430 more to hit that goal.

Weather during the ride: 81 degrees at the 10:33 AM start, 79% humidity, mostly cloudy sky; 85 degrees at 12:57 PM finish, 66% humidity, mostly cloud sky, SW wind at 7 mph.

When I stopped at the Pinehurst Trail Drive and FM 1960 traffic light a red SUV pulled up in the left turn lane (I was going straight) and as the light changed I saw a bike on a bumper rack. I wondered if I would see the cyclist at the church on Fairlake Drive south of FM 1960 and I did. He was getting ready to ride as I went by and we exchanged waves. Not long after that a lady cyclist passed me going north on Fairlake Drive. I almost didn’t see her because my head was down riding into the wind.

Some road construction on the route at Pinehurst Trail Drive north and south of FM 1960. I noticed markings on the road indicating possible panel replacement and now it is happening. There a couple places marked that don’t look that bad and some that look bad and are not marked. Maybe the problems are below the surface. Atascocita Shoires Drive has some rough spots but no markings there yet.

No rest stop today. I was hurrying to get back home for a Fedex delivery and I didn’t need to refill my water bottle.

With the front moving through later today I may not ride tomorrow because of cooler temperatures. I am in a good position goal wise.
