After the rain tricked me yesterday to ride indoors I made a concerted effort to start early today at 9:01 AM. Aboard my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike I headed south and east to FM2100 and Huffman. Before I got there in Walden I searched out the trails adding them to the route for the first time. This created a new route name, Atascocita – Walden Trails – Spanish Cove Drive. I didn’t find the trail loop by Aerobic Drive but I was close. Next time I’ll look at the map beforehand. The weather forecast talked about afternoon rain and I wanted to finish the ride before that happened which I did at 12:04 PM. The east wind picked up during the ride making the ride east over Lake Houston hard. Turning right onto Fairlake Lane I got some relief from the wind. At the Spanish Cove Drive turn around I checked the wind: from the east 16 mph with 22 mph gusts. No wonder it was hard pedaling into it. I rode 38.62 miles with the extra distance on Walden’s trails helping to overcome not riding outdoors yesterday towards my June goal. I’m still ahead of the pace to get to it with 579.3 miles (64% of the 908 mile goal). As I was out biking I got an email from Strava that I lost the local legend on Lake Houston EB segment. I think that was before I rode the segment today.

Weather: Start 81 degrees, humidity 81%, dew point 74.9, cloud cover 53%, wind E 10 mph gusts 15 mph; @Spanish cove cloud cover 75%, wind E 16 mph gusts 22 mph; Finish 87 degrees, humidity 72%, dew point 76.8, mostly cloudy, wind E 18 mph.
