Tailwinds and Timeframes: A Quick Spin to 44% of the June Goal
The trend of early starts continued. I rode north to Caney Creek and returned through Valley Ranch, Briar Tree, and Oakhurst. I rolled away at 8:50 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike and finished at 11:22 AM. That is early too before the weather had time to reach the high temperature. I tweaked the lead in for the Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood route but then stayed on the usual streets and roads. Wind was light from the east while I rode mostly to the north and south. I had a short time window to bike today prompting the early start. The average distance for this route is just over 32 miles and today I rode 32.54 miles. I’m now up to 403.75 miles for June, 44% of the way to the 908 mile goal.
