I didn’t realize until about 25 miles into the bike ride that I left my water bottle at home. After that point my thirst was on my mind. Fortunately the cool weather meant I could go the whole ride without water. When I got home I had a big drink from the forgotten water bottle. The ride began at 11:23 AM as I rolled out on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. The bike ride followed my Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove Drive route to the south and east. The wind was from the south at 10 mph but when I rode into the wind it seemed stronger. When I finished at 2:06 PM it had dropped to 8 mph. I saw two other cyclists on Old Atascocita Road and the Amtrak Sunset Limited train passing through Huffman. This was the 6th bike ride on the route in 2024. Strava matched it with 28 other rides.

Weather: Start 73 degrees, humidity 70%, dew point 62.4, mostly cloudy, wind S 10 mph; Finish 75 degrees, humidity 65%, dew point 62.9, overcast, wind S 8 mph.
