Wow! Fall weather dropped in on us and it got cool overnight; 64 degrees. The start time of 11:10 AM came about as I waited for the temperature to warm up a few degrees. No sense rushing out the door and over dressing.

The route lasted 37.46 miles improving the week’s total to 70.52 miles and the month to 247.47 miles. I need 452.5 miles to reach my goal. Year to date I am at 6,549 miles, only 251 miles away from my goal.

Speaking of miles, after yesterday’s bike ride I waxed the chain because it made some noises. The previous wax job was 1200 miles ago. The turned smoothly and quietly on today’s ride.

Weather during the time on the bike: start 75 (70% humidity, 64.3 dew point), a few clouds, wind NE 10 mph. Finish 80 (64% humidity, 66.4 dew point), a few clouds, wind NW 4 mph. The light breeze kept me cool and helped on the way back to Kingwood.

Before the ride I aired up the tires to 100 psi and you can tell it during the video whenever I go over a bump or expansion joint in the road. Moving the camera forward about 1/4″ helped with lessen my hands showing but the brake levers still show.
