Dry Heat – June 30th Bike Ride
Yesterday was a scorcher in the Houston area topping out at 107 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport, not far from where I ride and live. Imagine my relief when I got up this morning to 76 degrees, 31 degrees lower. Driving to church in my Jeep Wrangler with the top down was quite pleasant. Fast forward to 11:31 when I rolled out of my driveway it was 90.5 degrees but with some cloud cover to hold the sun at bay. The humidity dropped very low to 28% and to 26% when I got back home. I noticed my bandana was not soaked like it has been every other ride this week and perspiration did not drip or roll down my arms as I rode. Tomorrow it should be in the high 90’s.
Wrapping up June’s biking I chose a north route to Community Drive and then back home through Valley Ranch and some other subdivisions. I rode an even 27 miles (not often I ride a distance with no tenths of a mile). June ended up with 885.97 miles well over my 524 mile goal. For the week the miles totaled 227.55 and year to date moved up to 3325 miles. Check out the June to date slide below for all of the metrics.
