I decided today’s bike ride would be on the Spring Creek Greenway to Pundt Park and back on the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway. I overslept and didn’t start as early as I planned riding my Canyon Endurace at 9:10 AM. I figured it would be one ride to minimize the heat with the shade on the greenways. The NOAA app on my phone showed the high might hit 105. The last time I biked to John Pundt Park was July 24th and today would meet my goal to ride the greenway at least once each month. I should bike there more often. The typical distance is over 43 miles and today I rode 43.51 miles. Seconds after I started another cyclist rode towards me and turned onto a side street. I don’t think that has happened before. I carried extra water because there aren’t many places to refill and the couple of places don’t have cool water. Not many bikers or people on the greenway. Parking lots were almost empty. Watch the video for cyclists. I don’t ride above 17 mph on the greenways because of the many curves, people, and ups and downs. I saw one Deputy Constable on a 4-wheeler patrolling. The radar sign around the 7 mile marker got me at 17 mph. My Canyon crossed 1000 miles on this bike ride.

Finishing at 1:13 PM my home weather station showed 100 degrees. No wonder the final sips of water in my CamelBak were barely cool. Windy today. The trees slowed the wind some holding the convection effect back a little. Weather conditions: Start 87 degrees, 76% humidity, dew point 78.2, partly cloudy, wind S 8 mph; Finish 100 degrees, 44% humidity, dew point 73.9, partly cloudy, wind SW 13 mph gusts 21 mph.
