Change of Direction Bike Ride
The spring weather continues making for a nice day to ride a bike. I chose the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route which changes the direction for the middle parts of the route compared to the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. The bike ride was 33.55 miles long which pushes the week total to 140.94 miles. Wheels started rolling at 12:27 pm and finished at 2:54 pm.
Weather: start 76 (52% humidity) Clear, wind SE 16 mph, gusts 22 mph. Finish 78 (50% humidity) Clear, wind SE 20 mph.
That nasty wind was a challenge when I rode into it but at least riding over Lake Houston it wasn’t trying to grab the wheels and push me around. My wardrobe choice: shorts, long sleeve and short sleeve jerseys provided the proper warmth even in the shade.
Two other cyclists spotted. The first was on Old Atascocita Road just west of FM 2100 and the second was ahead of me by a couple hundred yards riding west over Lake Houston. I thought I might catch him but he turned right onto Atascocita Shores Drive while I turned left.
The sun felt great but it could become cloudy next few days for biking.
