My bike ride started at 11:05 today since we will wrap up the mulch exercise in the late afternoon to avoid some sunshine. With the earlier start the temperature at 74 degrees felt very comfortable especially with the northerly 5 mph breeze (the wind went to calm by the end of the ride). Cloud cover started increasing as the ride progressed. No other bikers crossed my route. By the time I finished at 1:18 PM the temperature rested at 85 degrees with 46 % humidity. Very comfortable biking today.

I did vary my Huffman route slightly today going through Walden at Lake Houston and not returning on Atascocita Shores Drive. Schools were closed today for Easter so traffic around them disappeared. I do not mention the road surface very often but this route does not include any chip’n seal roads. Streets and roads are concrete or fairly smooth asphalt.

Some numbers from today’s ride:

• 1:55:32 riding time
• 15.5 mph average speed
• 21.5 mph max speed
• 82.0 RPM average cadence
• 29.84 miles today
• 209.24 miles in April
• 1428.59 miles YTD
