The heat is not letting up – June 30th Bike Ride
The heat is not letting up. When I left on the ride the temperature on my home weather station was 101 degrees and my Garmin Edge shows a 102.2 max temperature during the ride. When I finished the temperature was 95 degrees. Humidity was in the 33 to 38% range. There still is no break in the rain blockage. My yard is getting browner by the day. My Camelbak Podium Chill is not keeping ice for the whole ride. When I stopped at the Chevron station in Huffman (17 mile point) I refilled my water bottle with ice but it was gone by the time I got to the 21 mile point. This has got to be good training for the HH100 in August. The skies were clear and the wind was 13.8 mph from the southeast.
Three other riders were out on Old Atascocita Road. I was rode 29.46 miles which got June mileage up to 661.37. This is not bad and is just a little less than May. The extra daylight helps. Today’s average speed was 15.0 mph and the max speed was 21.5 mph. Average cadence was 79.8 RPM. All of these June miles took 44 hours 15 minutes in the saddle. Year to date miles are now 2839.09. I rode 21 days during June.
