Starting later than expected at 9:11 AM I wondered if I would see any other cyclists as I biked the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route. But there were still other cyclists out probably on the latter part of their rides. Overall I guess I saw 25 or so bikers along the route. After I got to FM 2100 in the ride I only saw few more.

My plan was to ride enough miles to put the week over 200 miles and the month over 900 miles. The 32.25 miles today accomplished both of those: 215.58 miles for the week and 908.67 miles for June. This is the 7th week in a row at 200 miles or more. The last month over 900 miles was August 2018.

I am still waiting for summer weather to arrive. Weather during today’s bike ride: start 80 (87% humidity, 75.7 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind calm. Finish 88 (69% humidity, 76.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SW 5 mph. The temperature is appreciated. I switched to wrist bands today in place of the arm sleeves to see if the sweat flowing into my gloves was controlled. The gloves were not as soaked and I could feel the breeze on my skin more.

Effort wise Strava says the ride was consistent with your usual efforts. Watching the power and heart rate numbers on my Elemnt computer I think I rode a little below my usual efforts. Some physical data points:

• average heart rate: 123 (70%)
• max heart rate: 146 (83%)
• average power output: 99 watts
• max power output: 321 watts

Back in Kingwood I rode easier to the end of the ride finishing at 11:42 AM.

Sunday will be a rest day to set the start of July on Monday.

Rode 25 out of 30 days. Averaged 36.32 miles per ride. I have exceeded my mileage goal for each month so far in 2019.
