August is in the rearview mirror and September arrived. A new goal for the month of 700 miles. I need to average 23.33 miles per day to make that goal. Today’s bike ride was a good start with 35.35 miles. The began at 9:26 AM and finished at 12:03 PM. For the second time this year I rode what I call the “Community Drive – Valley Ranch – Gene Campbell Blvd” route. I rode on my Canyon Endurace bike.

The month changed but the weather not much. Weather conditions: start 87 (75% humidity, 78 dew point), a few clouds, wind SE 4 mph; finish 90 (64% humidity, 76 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SW 7 mph. More clouds than yesterday. Light wind let me ride in most directions without a strong headwind. Usually biking SE on FM 1314 is into a headwind but not today. (After I was back home it rained for a few minutes, The yard needed it.)

One drawback to riding NW on FM 1314 from Valley Ranch Parkway, several concrete companies spilled rock on the shoulder. A couple of times I rode over chunks of rock that could cause a flat. Thankfully the Continental GatorSkin tires handled them.
