I rode north on today’s bike ride to Roman Forest Blvd (New Caney – Roman Forest Blvd – Oakhurst route). It began at 11:31 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. Before the ride I watched two races from France, replaced the rear TPU tube with a rubber one, and installed the GoPro magnetic mount. The rear tire had a leak I couldn’t find so I replaced the tube. The rubber tube stem was 42mm and stuck out of the wheel just enough to connect the pump. (The red tint is from the flashing rear light when I took the photo). Maybe the short stem is more aerodynamic.

No Strava local legends today. I rode 35.18 miles boosting May’s total to 878.28 miles. If I ride the next two days May could be the highest mileage month in 2024.

No rain during the ride but the forecast called for rain late afternoon and evening, as I write this it has been raining for an hour or so. Weather: Start 81 degrees, humidity 78%, dew point 73.2, mostly cloudy, wind SE 8 mph; Finish 87 degrees, humidity 70%, dew point 76.2, partly cloudy, wind E 10 mph. Cooler than yesterday because of the storm that caught me at the end of that ride.

Riding through West Tavola on a different street than usual I came across a group of narrow two story homes. You can see them in the video. I was not aware of them.
