Ordinary July Bike Ride to Huffman
Nothing out of the ordinary on today’s bike ride. I left at 11:20 am biking the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman Extended” route for 35.44 miles. This puts the week at 146.48 miles and July at 362.9 miles. I chose this route to go a couple of miles more than the regular “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route. I watched stage 6 of the TdF before setting off.
Weather during the bike ride: start 90 (63% humidity), partly cloudy, wind SW 7 mph. Finish 92 (50% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind S 7 mph. It seems cooler than usual for July. By now I think we should be seeing some upper 90’s if not 100 degrees but I am not complaining.
The usual rest stop came at the Huffman Chevron where I ate a Clif Bar and drank some cold water while cooling down in the shade. I was there over 20 minutes because I had to restart the PowerPod when I left. The ride summary up to that point.
Leaving the Chevron I rode north on FM 2100. This took me past a building under construction that will have a Huddle House restaurant when it opens. I don’t know of another one in the Houston area.
The ride back to Kingwood was a bout 12 miles from the Chevron and I finished the ride at 2:25 pm.
Friday weather looks inviting for a bike ride.
