In a race to get more miles towards my 360 mile November goal I rode north to FM 1485 and back south to Kingwood. Friday or Saturday weather below my outside riding threshold is predicted to arrive. Then I will shift to indoors riding Zwift which doesn’t count towards my goal. I started at 10:21 AM and was back home at 1:10 PM after biking 31.9 miles, upping my November total road miles to 66. This was the eleventh time I rode the Kingwood – FM 1485 – Kingwood route in 2022. Today I rode my Cervelo Caledonia bike and the distance was a little below the average for other 10 rides.

Weather conditions: start 78 (humidity 76%, dew point 70), mostly cloudy, wind E 6 mph; finish 82 (humidity 64%, dew point 69), mostly cloudy, wind SE 10 mph.

My legs are still recovering from the 7 days off the bike due to sickness. The 10 mph wind on the way back to Kingwood challenge them some and a few times my speed dropped to around 12 mph until I recovered after a few minutes.

My four rides in the last 90 days brought me the Strava Local Legend on Rock Creek Southbound. Now that the dogs seem to be gone I will probably ride this segment more often.
