The lower humidity and dew point faded away this morning as I began today’s bike ride. Thursday’s ride headed south and east over Lake Houston to FM 2100 on my Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route. I wanted to start earlier than yesterday but only managed 3 minutes improvement rolling away on the Cervelo Caledonia at 8:55 AM. This was the thirteen bike ride on the route in 2023. Today’s 34.94 miles was about average this year. That upped my week to 150 miles and the month to 549 or 69% of the way to my 800 mile goal. No cyclists crossed my route today. Traffic backed up around Kingwood Park High School because students arrived later than other days this week. Maybe Thursday is a late start day? No donut stop but I stopped at the Exxon station at E. Lake Houston Parkway for ice. In the video I made an effort to talk to the GoPro media mod back mic and I think the audio is better today. I changed the out front mount that holds the GoPro to increase the space between the GoPro and the handle bar for a wireless mic if I decide to get one. I finished at 11:43 AM. According to the AXS.SRAM.com ride report I used the 35×13 gears the most: 1:37:33 or 23.3 miles.

Weather for the bike ride: 86 degrees, 71% humidity, dew point 75.1, fair, wind S 5 mph; Finish 95 degrees, 45% humidity, dew point 70.1, a few clouds, wind W 6 mph.
