I rode south and east on today’s bike ride aboard my Canyon Endurace bike. Top priority was no flat tires since the last two rides on the Canyon included flat tires. The route: Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman. I don’t ride this route very often, this was the fifth time this year and the last time was July 27th. The previous four rides averaged about 36.5 miles which I wanted to match today. I actually rode a little farther coming in at 37.23 miles. Rolling out at 8:55 AM was a little later than I wanted but not too late to finish before the temperature would cross over 100. I finished the ride at 12:07 PM. No flat tires, so priority accomplished. Maybe the Canyon will not develop a flat tire complex now. The week’s ride total 119.68 miles which is good because I won’t ride on Friday and getting to 200+ miles for the week will be close. I’m getting close to my 800 mile goal for August with 741 miles.

Weather: Start 84 degrees, 80% humidity, dew point 77.3, a few clouds, wind N 4 mph; Finish 95 degrees, 53% humidity, dew point 75.1, a few clouds, wind E 9 mph.
