I managed to start earlier today with wheels rolling at 9:46 AM. I rode my Canyon Endurace bike. The route of choice was “Kingwood to Ramsey Road – Huffman”. I finished the bike ride at 12:58 PM after biking 38.92 miles. This was the 6th time biking this route in 2021. The distance was consistent with the other times.

Starting earlier didn’t beat the heat. Fortunately the wind wasn’t gusting like yesterday. After taking a short break at Ramsey Road the bike ride back through Huffman, across Lake Houston and northwest to Kingwood mostly with a tailwind. Weather conditions for the bike ride: start 88 (72% humidity, 78.1 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 7 mph; finish 94 (53% humidity, 73.8 dew point), partly cloudy, wind variable 6 mph. This type of weather is good training for the Hotter’n Hell 100 later this month.

When I reached FM 2100 another biker came across the intersection riding to the west. I didn’t expect to see another biker. I caught him in the video.

The Tickr Fit worked the whole ride. I found a possible reason for the problem, one of the pins on the charging pad broke off. I contacted Wahoo Fitness and they said this was a known problem. They are sending me another charging pad. My new Tickr Fit arrived today.
