A 9:00 AM start to today’s bike ride meant a possibility of seeing other cyclists along my “Atascocita – FM 2100 – Walden” route. The Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike carried me over the 31.48 mile ride. At the 10 mile point the week hit 200+ miles and 221.34 miles at the end. It was nice to finish at 11:28 AM, earlier than some of my ride starts. 2021 YTD miles falls short of YTD 2020 by 143 miles but I am keeping the difference about the same. June totals 172.68 miles on my way to the 800 mile goal.

During 2021 I have biked this route 9 times, all on the same bike.

As I entered Walden an older lady on a cruiser bike waved me down. She asked if I knew how to get to Pine Shores Drive. I told her I wasn’t sure where it was (not thinking to pull my phone out and look it up). But I told her the turns to take to ride to the next subdivision. It was a lot of right turns with a left turn thrown in. I think she understood and she rode on. Later I realized I should have looked it up and rode with her. I did look up the street at home and my directions got her close even if I didn’t know where it was. I figured from the street name it must be close to Lake Houston.

No rain along the course today. A day ago the weather forecast looked like today would be wet. A Summary of the weather after the bike ride. No wind to speak of helping me build up my overall average speed to 14.5 mph. I decided to wear a long sleeve jersey under my short sleeve Texbiker.net jersey for the cool start and sun protection later on.
