I paused watching stage 20 of the Giro d’Italia to get an earlier than usual start on today’s bike ride (I’ll finish watching after the bike ride). When I start early on Saturday sometimes I see other cyclists along the “Atascocita – FM 2100 – Walden” route. Wheels down and rolling on my Canyon Endurace bike at 8:53 AM also meant an early finish at 11:28 AM. Today’s ride distance came in at 32.34 miles moving the week to 185.19 miles. Tomorrow I need to ride 15 miles to get a 200 mile week. Those same miles will put May at 800+ miles. Are you listening rain?

Watch the video to find out if I saw other cyclists.

Weather conditions: start 74 (83% humidity, 68.2 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind NW 6 mph; finish 82 (69% humidity, 70.6 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind variable 4 mph. The wind wasn’t a battle like yesterday’s ride. The humidity at the start made it feel cooler but sticky. When I got up the temperature was 67 probably the aftermath of rain during the night.

Several swim meets at Kingwood village pools mark the end of the school year and beginning of summer. Traffic can be tricky biking by the pools with cars parked and others looking for a place to park. On the way back to Kingwood I altered the route to avoid the Kings River pool and traffic. I used the bolt computer map page to find the streets to avoid the pool. That was the first time I used that on a bike computer, I think.

Back in Kingwood I saw this flag out for the Memorial Day weekend.
