Wheels rolled early (for me anyway) at 8:03 AM as I set off on the “Atascocita – Huffman – Walden” route to see other bikers. The ride went for 35.41 miles. September now totals 225.45 miles, 32% of the way to my 700 mile goal. Based on the 14 days so far I should be at 327 miles, or 47% of my the goal. I am getting closer but I need to ride more than 24 miles per day to make up the deficit.

Weather during the ride: start 73 (91% humidity, 70.2 dew point), a few clouds, wind calm. Finish 95 (49% humidity, 72.6 dew point), a few clouds, wind NE 8 mph. I appreciated the arm sleeves at the start for a couple of miles until it warmed up. Fall is in the air though.

Strava tells me this ride was easier than my usual effort. My average speed held at 14.0 mph for most the ride from FM 2100 in Huffman back to Kingwood.

When I stopped on Old Atascoctia Road to shoot some of the videos I spotted the first “love bugs” and they made a cameo appearance in a segment of the video.

Towards the end of the video a group of bikers rode south on W. Lake Houston Parkway while I was stopped on Upper Lake Drive. I almost missed them because I was behind a Jeep. Following the group was a VeloFix van, the first one I saw in Kingwood. I wonder if it covers the area.

The video sums up what I saw on the ride. Lots of bikers once I crossed Lake Houston going east.

I finished the ride at 11:01 AM.

More biking weather on Sunday after church.
