Back on the bike today after some early morning rain. The rain kind of moved to the west though some dark clouds hung around in the distance. After waiting for the streets to dry off I rolled out at 12:41 pm to bike the “Atascocita – Walden – E. Lake Houston Parkway” route bicycling 29.41 miles. When I got up I was very optimistic about biking today. This is a bonus day since on Monday I figured no biking until Friday.

Weather during the bike ride: start 86 (75% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind SE 13 mph. Finish 86 (76% humidity), overcast, wind SE 16 mph. With all of the rain the humidity was thick enough you could almost cut it with a knife. Sweating didn’t do much to cool me down but my jersey must’ve held a couple of quarts of moisture by the end of the ride.

A couple of times I felt a few rain drops but they or me moved out of range.

While biking south on Pinehurst Trail I passed a house at one of the side streets with the large message letters in the front yard. The message: “Happy 65th Anniversary, Mom & Dad”. How nice that they were remembered.

On the return leg to Kingwood the streets were damp from rain before I got there but I still avoided the rain. Finished bicycling at 2:53 pm.

Yesterday since I could ride due to rain I lubricated the chain on the Canyon with No. 5 Chain-L oil. Strange name but the oil sticks to the chain. The chain was quiet now after squeaking and showing some rust after riding in the rain on Monday.

Next biking day will be Friday, weather permitting. According to the forecast we should be back to hot and dry June.
