The cool overnight temperatures continued with a chilly 48 degrees when I got out of bed this morning. It took several hours after that to warm up to the mid 70’s slowing the start of the bike ride to 11:38 AM. I am a temperature wimp. To offset the chill I wore a long sleeve jersey under a short sleeve jersey. Riding in the shade remind me of the chill from overnight. The beautiful blue sky and ample sunshine helped to warm me as well as pedaling the Canyon Endurace bike. The “Kingwood – SH 242 Kingwood” route took me north and then back to the south covering 36.45 miles. This brought me within 92 miles of reaching my 625 mile goal for October. If the weather holds to the forecast I should reach that goal this week. Over the course of 2021 I biked this route 9 times. The distance for those times are consistently 35 to 36 miles. I did ride on some different streets in Tavola for this route.

The average speed is consistent for the rides. Today the max average speed was 14.0 mph until I was riding in Kings Manor with about 4 miles left. The wind was light which helps the average speed.

Weather summary: start 73 (43% humidity, 49 dew point), a few clouds, wind E 5 mph; finish 74 (43% humidity, 50 dew point), a few clouds, wind E 7 mph.
