Today’s bike ride weather improved from last Saturday’s by about 30 degrees. The sky was still overcast but I dressed differently as I rode the “Kingwood to Ramsey Road – Huffman” route going 37.9 miles. Starting at 10:43 AM the ride lasted 2:45:17 without any rest stops.

The weather while biking: start 75 (82% humidity, 69.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 13 mph. Finish 80 (75% humidity, 71.7 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph. My wardrobe consisted of shorts, long sleeve jersey, short sleeve jersey, and biking gloves. This kept me comfortable the whole bike ride, even riding over Lake Houston.

A few other cyclists remained along the route despite my late start. Most were what I call casual riders but serious bikers passed me too. A serious biker wears a helmet and biking clothes versus the casual rider without a helmet and specific clothes.

For some reason the video did not record my comments so I added music.

Sunday I have the potential to ride 200+ miles this week for the first time this year. The total before Sunday stands at 189.43 miles. The weather looks good.
