Longest Ride So Far This Year: Kingwood to Ramsey Road – Huffman
I wanted to start February’s bike rides better than I did in January. I chose the Kingwood to Ramsey Road – Huffman route riding south and east. This would end up being the longest ride so far this year at 39.45 miles. I didn’t check to see the last time I rode the route until I finished and saw it was October 7th, 2023. Wheels down and rolling at 11:45 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. It was into a SE or S wind all the way to Ramsey Road. The wind wasn’t too strong but the wind chill kept reminding me the temperature was not as high as I prefer. At Ramsey Road road construction meant no traffic going north so I didn’t ride to the first bridge before turning around. The ride back to Kingwood was more wind neutral though I did enjoy a tailwind riding north on FM 2100. The main benefit was the wind chill reduction. The sun couldn’t break through the clouds holding the temperature around 70 when I finished at 2:40 PM. My road mile goal is 445 for February and I made a nice ride towards that number.
