The weather flipped from yesterday: start 78 (82% humidity) overcast, finish 83 (71% humidity) mostly cloudy, wind 5 mph variable. Nice to not be concerned with a wind chill. I selected the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route and biked a total of 33.96 miles putting me 290 miles away from my 585 mile goal for March. With the warmer weather I adjusted my wardrobe: shorts, long sleeve jersey (probably not needed by the end of the ride), and a short sleeve jersey. Not fighting a strong wind (20 mph yesterday) made for a more relaxed ride though I still averaged 14.8 mph for a large portion of the ride.

With the 11:31 am start I figured it would likely to not see other cyclists but I did. First one was in Kings Forest around 5 miles into the ride. The next two were on Old Atascocita Road west for FM 2100. The final one was in Atascocita approaching Kings Park Way with him in front until our paths split at Kings Park Way.

No stops today for photos with the blooming azaleas which are really out in force.

Finishing at 1:56 pm I will catch up on the AAC semi final game between Cincinnati and Memphis thanks to the DVR and KHOU via an antenna.

Not sure if I will ride on Sunday with a “cool” front arriving and some rain possible.
