Some bike rides I follow a route using the same streets but today on the way north to Caney Creek I used some different street combinations. A few were made on the fly, others pre-planned. No new streets but some I haven’t been on for awhile. It was my Lynskey Helix bike’s turn to ride. The route name is the same but the streets not so, Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood. Start time was a few minutes earlier than yesterday at 8:45 AM and I finished at 11:30 AM to avoid the hottest part of the day. Today I rode 32.5 miles, the average distance for the route in 2023, even with the different streets. Out of the nine rides in 2023 seven have been on my Lynskey Helix bike.

I used the 35×13 gears the most during the ride: 1:34:21 (22.6 miles), 35×15 gears 41:49 (6 miles), 33 rear derailleur shifts. From the AXS.SRAM.com ride report.

Weather: Start 85 degrees, 77% humidity, dew point 76.7, partly cloudy, wind S 10, ; Finish 90 degrees, 63% humidity, dew point 75.4, partly cloudy, wind SW 10 mph.
