Most days I have planned the route for the bike ride but today I couldn’t make up my mind where to ride. I considered going to the Spring Creek Greenway and Jesse Jones Park but that wasn’t as many miles as I wanted to ride. Then I calculated extending that to Carter Park but that was not quite 30 miles. I remembered losing the Strava local legend yesterday on the Adams St. Westbound segment to Giovanni Carrion. That made up my mind so I chose the Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood route and modified it to include that segment. This would put me equal to Giovanni at 12 efforts in the last 90 days.

A run to drop off an envelope delayed the start time to 9:09 AM. For a change the temperature was a couple of degrees lower than the other bike rides this week when I rode away on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. It even felt a little cooler later when I made the turn to go under US59/I-69 at Caney Creek in the shade. Earlier the forecast said it might hit 100 again today but it dropped a couple degrees by the time I got back home at 11:40 AM. Weather during the bike ride: Start 83 degrees, 78% humidity, dew point 75.8, a few clouds, wind W 4 mph; Finish 93 degrees, 60% humidity, partly cloudy, wind S 5 mph.
