My bike ride start time gradually is getting later each time. Today I started at 8:50 AM even though I wanted to start about 20 minute earlier. Maybe to tomorrow I can everything together and begin earlier. My Canyon Endurace was the bike for today’s ride on my Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route. I left out a few streets before leaving Kingwood compared to the typical ride on this route. After the previous rides this month I thought a shorter bike ride was in order. The average distance is 34.6 miles but today I biked 33.31 miles. The week now totals 155.74 miles and the month 108.33 miles (14% of my 800 mile goal). I’m slightly ahead of the pace to reach that goal. I need to average 25.8 miles per day and I’m averaging 36.11 miles per day. No rain allows me to ride each day so far and the forecast says that could last a week or more. My yard is crying out for water though. I saw another cyclist in Kings River on Water Point Trail. I finished at 11:38 AM before it got real hot. Weather: Start 88 degrees, 70% humidity, dew point 76.6, a few clouds, wind S 4 mph; Finish 96 degrees, 52% humidity, dew point 75.0, partly cloudy, wind S 6 mph.
