Started today’s bike ride at high noon under a beautiful sky and weather. It is easy to think tomorrow is the first day of spring and today is the last day of winter. Not Soon Enough!! It finally is arriving after cold weather and overcast skies. The weather for today’s bike ride: start 82 (28% humidity), partly cloudy, wind NW 13 mph. Finish 86 (19% humidity), few clouds, wind W 15 mph, gusts 23 mph. That wind is a killer. It wasn’t too bad biking north and south but any roads to the west and I had to bury my head and pedal hard to keep my speed at 14 to 15 mph. The ” start 82 (28% humidity), partly cloudy, wind NW 13 mph. Finish 86 (19% humidity), few clouds, wind W 15 mph, gusts 23 mph. The “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route was mostly north and south and I managed to set a nice pace to Tavola. The very low humidity made it feel slightly cooler than the temperature indicated but I wore a light wardrobe: shorts and a short sleeve UC jersey.

No other cyclists along the route today.

With the 35.04 miles today I am getting close to my March goal of 585 miles with 537.8 miles so far. I should make my goal and makeup the remaining January shortfall of 20 miles.

The bike ride ended at 2:32 pm just before school traffic hits the road.

Tomorrow the temperature will be about 14 degrees cooler according to the forecast with a high of 72. I plan on biking and stopping at Dairy Queen for a free ice cream cone. Warmer clothes will be in order.
