I was concerned about the weather as I checked the radar before starting today’s bike ride. To the north rain looked threatening but I decided to ride. Setting out at 8:00 AM on the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route a couple of new things accompanied me on the ride.

I wore a new pair of Aero Tech Design Men’s Gel Touring shorts in place of my usual Bellwether Endurance Gel shorts. Switching to a different piece of clothing is always a gamble but as the ride progressed these shorts are my new buddy. I will buy some to replace the Bellwether ones.

Second new item was a GoPro Hero7 White. I mounted it on the handlebar to the right of the stem and aimed it to the center. Last night I read up on how to use it but slept and forgot several things like voice commands. I tried to use them but I left a couple of word out and nothing happened. So I resorted to pushing the record button. Since this new I missed a few video opportunities when other cyclists popped up and I forgot to press record. Several videos from the ride.

I need to work on my video editing skills to combine these.

The rain never materialized as I rode back to Kingwood and finished the ride at 10:53 AM

The week biking totaled 216.64 miles with today’s 33.57 miles and August stands at 108.18 miles, 14% of my 800 mile goal. This is the 12th week in a row at 200+ miles. A big thank you to the weather not raining or otherwise complicating reaching my goals.
