I decided to ride a familiar route to the north but mix up some of the streets. I rode a greenbelt trail that was not in the usual line up, through North Woodland Hills Village, entered Woodridge Forest on Woodridge Parkway, checked out the Peppervine houses that didn’t exist the last time I biked there, and took Bentwood Oaks Drive into Oakhurst after a long absence. I called this the Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood route because most of the streets were the same. This was the third bike ride on this route in 2024. Because of the changed streets Strava didn’t find any matching rides. The average distance is a little over 32 miles but with the change in streets I rode 33.17 miles increasing the week’s total to 104.9. I’m getting close to 200 miles for March with 188.72. I rode my Lynskey Helix bike for the first time this week. The temperature was a few degrees lower and the wind stayed below 8 mph. AXS.SRAM.com ride report.
