I chose the “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route for today’s bike ride and rode 35.16 miles. I think I will be able to ride 6 days this week so I don’t need to make up for a missed day and still ride 200+ miles. So far I biked 70.7 miles this week and 382.85 miles this month or 48% of my 800 mile goal.

It wasn’t quite as hot while I was out on the roads. Weather during the ride: start 95 (61% humidity, 79.0 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SW 9 mph. Finish 95 (51% humidity, 74.2 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 8 mph. Start time was 11:12 AM and finished at 1:57 PM putting me out during prime heat time.

I stopped for water and ice twice: Chevron store on FM 1960 and Astacocita Shores Drive and the McDonald’s in Kingwood’s Town Center. At the McDonald’s an old white Toyota pickup leaned severely to the driver’s front with a broken axle. There was a note on the dash probably explaining what the driver planned but I didn’t stop to read it. The pickup was an obstacle for other cars to go into the drive through lanes.

Strava tells me this ride was easier than my usual effort and I agree as I took it easy after I left FM 1960 west at Pinehurst Trail Drive headed north back to Kingwood.
