“SR242 – Old Houston Rd – FM1314” Bike Ride Wraps Up May
Last ride for May 2017. I selected the “SR242 – Old Houston Rd – FM1314” route in order to ride more than 40 miles and ended up riding 42.12 miles boosting May total miles to 393.48. This exceeded my goal by 93.48 miles, not bad considering we were on vacation from May 2nd to May 21st.
Nothing unusual during the bike ride today. I stopped for a rest break at 30.4 miles at the Valero station on FM 1314 and Sorters Road. It lasted about 15 minutes as I sat drinking ice water after refilling my water bottle. I sat on a stack of bottled water outside. The wildflowers along the road are almost gone with a few yellow ones hanging on.
I started at 11:35 and finished at 2:46. The weather was not too hot with 88 degrees at the end of the bike ride. Mostly cloudy skies held the sun back some and the light 5 mph breeze was just enough to dry some of the sweat as I rode.
Rain might stop me from bicycling tomorrow but I will be on the road if it doesn’t.
