Memorial Day arrived but the rain forecasted did not. I left earlier today at 9:46 with the Giro d’Italia on a rest day. To be different I rode he “Huffman – Atascocita – Walden” (reverse of Atascocita – Walden – Huffman) for variety of a sorts. Amazing how the same roads in reverse look different. I was on the look out for homes with flags out and found these on Atascocita Shores Drive. Lots of flags along the route. Last night when we were going out to eat there was a pickup truck beside us with a bunch of flags to put out.

In years past someone put out signs along FM2100 in memory or honoring service people but this year no signs on the section I biked on.

The wind was challenging today whenever I rode to the south. I wasn’t able to build up my average speed to more than 15.1 mph over the 31.88 mile route. I saw several other bicyclists during the ride.

Only a brief stop at the Chevron station today to refill my water bottle, wipe sweat from my eyes (humidity was 72%) and blow my nose. I couldn’t go south on FM2100 anyway because a train was going through.

Tomorrow’s forecast looks favorable for biking.
