One Windy Bike Ride, Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood
One windy bike ride today. After watching stage 1 of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya I got ready for the bike ride. Rolling out at 12:14 PM on my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike I chose my “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route. I enjoyed the miles to SH 242 to the north but the return ride was into a strong headwind. I finished at 3:13 PM after biking 36.71 miles. March road miles stand at 491.5, 109 short of my goal.
Here’s what the weather was like: start 72 (60% humidity, 57.1 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 15 mph gusts 30 mph; finish 73 (57% humidity, 56.9 dew point), overcast, wind SE 20 mph. The first day in awhile with the temperature in the 70’s. I lightened up my attire wearing shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a windbreaker jacket. I wished the jacket could’ve broke the wind to a slower speed on the way back to Kingwood.
My video used 2 cameras and recorded a majority of the bike ride. A different video rather than short clips. I will let my comments in the video describe how the bike ride went.
