The unseasonable weather held on another day for today’s bike ride. The low humidity and temperatures made for a pleasant ride on the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route. Friday will try to replicate the weather but it will start to wain. The wheels rolled at 10:54 AM as I biked 35.75 miles boosting the week’s total to 146.43 miles and July totals 781.45 miles, 18 miles short of my goal for the month. I added some extra streets to get the mileage up. I finished the ride at 1:42 PM.

Weather during the bike ride: start 86 (48% humidity, 63.6 dew point), fair, wind E 8 mph. Finish 89 (42% humidity, 62.8 dew point), a few clouds, wind variable 5 mph. Arm sleeves helped keep the sun in check for skin protection.

I wore a new pair of Bellwether Endurance Gel Shorts. I think these are not the same as the older shorts with the fabric feeling lighter. Previously when I first wore a new pair they were tight on my legs but these did not fit as snugly. I may need to find another source.
