I rolled out on today’s bike ride under a sunny sky which I much appreciated after yesterday’s rain interrupted ride. The 95% humidity provided moisture of a different variety and it didn’t take long for my bike kit to get wet. The 7:45 AM start time wasn’t the earliest one of the week but next to the earliest. The route choice, Atascocita – Huffman – Walden, followed my typical Saturday south and east to Huffman in hopes of seeing other cyclists. I saw some but not as many as on other Saturdays. I wondered if they were holding off to ride the Katy Flatland when I mistakenly thought it was tomorrow. The Katy Flatland is July 16th. At the start I was standing at 178 miles for the week and this route is usually 32 to 34 miles long which meant I should push the week over 200 miles. Today’s bike ride came in at 34.19 miles and the week moved to 212.41 miles. July is at 266.91 miles. My goal is 800 miles for the month which requires an average of 25.81 miles per day. I’m averaging 33.36 miles per day thanks to riding every day so far.

Weather: Start 75 degrees, 95% humidity, dew point 74.0, partly cloudy, wind calm; Finish 87 degrees, 68% humidity, dew point 75.5, a few clouds, wind variable 6 mph. I finished the ride at 10:19 AM well before the hottest part of the day. No sign of any rain.
