It could’ve been worse but my curiosity got the better of me. Its been several weeks since my encounter with the mud under FM1960 on the Atascocita Hike and Bike Trail between W. Lake Houston Parkway and Farmingham Road. I decided today I would check if the mud was still there. I made the change on the Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route to go on the hike and bike trail rather than the usual streets to the east. The video shows what I encountered so no need to duplicate here. The start was about 20 minutes earlier than yesterday as I rode away on my Cervelo Caledonia at 9:33 AM. The temperature was about 84 and the humidity 80% making for a muggy bike ride. Wind never got above the single digits settling around 5 to 6 mph. When I stopped at the pool on Atascocita Shores Drive I learned why the Unbound Ride people carry wooden paint stir sticks to scrape off the mud which is what I did with a stick. Three children were walking by and we chatted before they continued to the basketball court. Now in the know about the mud I rode on to FM2100 and Huffman. I finished the ride at 12:36 PM and then washed the Cervelo to get rid of the mud. While I washed a window survey young man came up and we talked about bike gears while I scrubbed. Maybe next week I’ll check on the mud again.
