This evening’s ride was moving right along until about the 23.8 mile mark when I ran over a piece of glass and the air escaped from my rear tire. Imagine that! The weather was quite comfortable with clear skies, a 13 mph SSE breeze and 84 degrees. When I stopped to patch the tube a gentle from one of the restaurants at Kings Harbor was curious and came over to “get some pointers” on how I patched the tube. He said if I could not fix it he would give a ride home. I actually fixed the problem in a rather quick amount of time and got back on the road. The sun was setting as I pulled into the driveway at 8:41. I altered the route slightly today.

There were not many “serious” bikers out this evening but there a number of easy recreational riders heading south on W. Lake Houston Parkway bridge just before I had the flat. I waved as I met them.

The ride was 28.47 miles with an average speed of 14.9 mph and a max speed of 20.4 mph. The average cadence was 80.2 rpm. I am making progress on the June mileage which is now at 207.39 and the year to date mileage is 2385.10. This week’s mileage stands at 85.84. With two more rid days this week I should have even more progress.
