“New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” was the route choice for today. I wanted to ride a little shorter distance than yesterday and this fit the bill coming in at 37.42 miles. Starting at 11:13 am the weather was perfect: start 85 (57% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SW 5 mph. Finish 91 (38% humidity), a few clouds, wind 4 mph. Wind wasn’t a problem for my legs today. Attire was the typical summer one: shorts and short sleeve jersey.

Nothing out of the ordinary along the route including no other cyclists spotted. No rest stop today though I should have made stop to refill my water bottle. I was thirsty by the time I finished at 1:50 pm.

Last year on this date I biked from Marathon to Key West Florida. This was the second day, dividing the 100 miles from Key Largo to Key West into two days. The first day I rode alone but on the second I started out with another cyclist and after the 7 mile bridge we were joined by two other cyclists. Two photos from the ride.

Biking today the weather was about the same as then. More on tap for the several days.

I am getting closer to my May goal of 660 miles with 484.6 miles so far.
