My plan got disrupted this morning when a delivery man rang our doorbell at 7:10 AM. After that everything went off the plan and I didn’t start today’s bike ride until 8:41 AM. I rode my usual Saturday route along on “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” in order to see other cyclists. No surprise I saw about 20 other cyclists starting in Kingwood and all the way to FM 2100. Ronnie Clark, who I rode with in the past, was one of them. I turned around just in time from taking a photo to hear him say, “I know that guy.” I had a plastic bag in mouth and could only mumble a response. I hope he heard me.

With today’s 31.67 miles the week’s total came in at 214.54 miles. This makes 11 weeks in a row of 200+ miles. I don’t know if I have done that before. July improved to 849.56 miles, 106% of my goal. YTD shows 4,939 miles, 73% of my 6,800 mile goal.

The low humidity weather ended today and the lower temperatures that came with it will leave today too. Weather during the bike ride: start 82 (82% humidity, 75.7 dew point), partly cloudy, wind NE 5 mph. Finish 88 (69% humidity, 76.7 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind NE 6 mph. Back to July summer weather.

I missed on photo. When I tried to take it the Android Auto app came up instead. By the time I exited it the cyclists were gone.

On the return leg I rode on the Atascocita Hike & Bike Trail. I almost collided with a man coming out of the shadows on my left carrying a trash can. With my dark sunglasses seeing when I move from bright sunlight to shadows takes a few seconds to adjust. Fortunately he saw me and stopped as I rode by.

This ride was a one water bottle refill ride. I stopped at the Shell station on FM 1960 by the Houston Fire Station.

I finished the ride at 11:18 AM. My average speed was low from stopping for photos and slowing down once I got back in Kingwood. Sunday will be a rest day.
