The hot weather seems to have paused. Weather during today’s bike ride: start 83 (72% humidity), overcast, wind E 9 mph. Finish 87 (63% humidity), overcast, wind E 14 mph. Granted I got an early start at 9:08 am and finished at 12:16 pm but it was nice. I chose the “May Park Community Center – Huffman” route for distance biking 41.28 miles. This puts July at 722.13 miles, only 78 miles away from my 800 mile goal.

Home weather at the end of the bike ride.

I did get a few sprinkles on the return leg through Atascocita.

Wind was a little difficult while riding to the east and north but a nice tailwind from the May Community Center to home. I stopped at the Huffman Chevron for about 8 minutes to refill my water bottle with ice and water. I skipped stopping at the May Center because I had enough water left and the heat wasn’t bad. It almost felt like a fall day. Wahoo ride summary at the Chevron break.

No unusual things along the route although I forgot on an earlier ride on Fairlake Drive about seeing two fawns scamper across the asphalt just in front of me. Today as I passed the church parking lot on Fairlake several cars were getting ready to leave after biking. Bikes were on racks before I saw them a car at FM 1960 had a bike on a rear rack waiting to turn left onto FM 1960. I believe these were ladies.

Weather probably will heat up again on Wednesday so this brief coolness won’t last.
