Not Alone Under A Blue Sky Bike Ride
More beautiful biking weather today. After watching stage 4 (including the finish unlike yesterday) of the Giro d’Italia I got ready to bike leaving at 11:19 AM. I chose the “Kingwood to Ramsey Road – Huffman” route and rode 37.43 miles.
With all of the sun I wore arm sleeves along with a short sleeve jersey and shorts. Weather during the bike ride: start 84 (52% humidity), a few clouds, wind E 12 mph. Finish 86 (44% humidity), a few clouds, wind E 8 mph.
I altered the route slightly to avoid the downed tree on Kingwood Drive by the high school.
Other cyclists were out today. I saw three women cyclists on Pinewood Park in Atascocita. Later at Fairlake Drive and FM 1960 another cyclist pulled up to cross FM 1960 as I made the right turn onto Fairlake.
When I reached Ramsey Road and Old Atascocita Road I took these photos.
The clear blue sky in the background was why I wanted to take the photos. My arm sleeve is visible with the wild pattern.
Riding back from Ramsey Road was easier than getting there with the headwind. I built up my average speed from there to 14.2 mph and held that until the 35 mile point back in Kingwood finishing the ride at 2:11 PM.
Wednesday weather: Sunny. High near 85F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Looks like great biking weather.
