Driving home from church the sky looked threatening and a tornado warning was about to expire. That all changed by the time I started today’s bike ride at 2:24 PM. Starting later than planned I rode on Kingwood streets, greenbelts, Forest Cove, and the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway aboard the Lynskey Helix bike. I thought the ride would be 15 to 18 miles but turned out to be 24.29 miles finishing the week with 205.33 miles. I’m making progress on my month goal with 257.1 road miles, the goal is 445 road miles. A strong NE wind (10 mph gusts 21 mph) at the start calmed to 10 mph by the 4:18 PM finish. The wind heralded the coming of a cool front and the temperature dropped 75 to 72 by the end of the ride. I felt the cooling because I wore a long sleeve jersey under a short sleeve jersey, no wind jacket. Pedaling into the wind was hard but my legs relished when the road turned with a tailwind.
