Yesterday the SCIGuy weather blog in the Houston Chronicle stated that with the current weather conditions and the forecast of little to no rain over the next week, eastern Harris County will approach drought conditions. Now as bicyclist I have to say the weather we have been having in southeast Texas has been fabulous for biking. Farmers and homeowners’ yards have been taking the hit while bikers have had no rain to stop or slow the riding. This evening’s ride was no exception. The temprature is a little lower than yesterday at 85 degrees or so. Supposedly the SSE 14 mph wind will increase the humidity but if it did I cannot tell it. The scattered clouds were no threat and help the heat be moderate.

Today’s ride statistics:

• miles = 23.00
• riding time = 1:37:23
• average pace = 4:14 min/mile
• average speed = 14.2 mph
• max speed = 20.1 mph

• max cadence = 103 rpm
• climb 218 ft., descend 208 ft., max elevation 99 ft.
• May miles 152.56
• YTD miles 1552.37
