A Father’s Day ride on the “Huffman – Atascocita – Walden” route was a great gift. My father died 10 years ago but he made a lasting impression on me. One that really sticks with me came from when we worked together on a project. He said the job wasn’t finished until the work area was clean and the tools put away. I have the same saying. I miss my father but the memories are still with me.

The weather was hot and sticky; 95 degrees and 58% humidity. An overcast sky kept the sun at bay. I thought of this as a recovery ride from yesterday’s 43+ mile ride. Today I biked 28.53 miles bringing the total for the week to 183.55 miles, June totals 658.92 miles and 2891 miles for the year. 310 miles to reach my goal for June. I will need several 40+ mile rides to get there with 9 days left.

Several families were out biking on the greenbelt trails but I didn’t see any other bicyclists on the roads.

Home weather at the end of the ride

Wind varied greatly from the IAH airport weather to my home weather station. The airport reported 12 mph versus calm when I finished.
