This time of the year in southeast Texas you pay the price for starting a bike ride at 12:24 pm. I wasn’t planning on riding today but after Friday’s bike ride I only needed 18 miles to hit 200 for the week and to position me to ride 900+ for the month if I ride Monday and Tuesday. So I couldn’t pass the opportunity. It was 95 as I rolled out on the “Atascocita – Walden” route to ride at least 18 miles. By the time I finished at 2:04 pm it was 97 and I rode 22.26 miles putting the week at 204.48 miles and July at 842.92 miles.

Home weather station at the start and finish of the bike ride.

Wind was light and didn’t pose a problem during the bike ride. Lots of sun and that equals lots of sweat. I appreciated riding in the shade whenever it came up. Trees hanging over the street are welcomed. More hot and dry on Monday and Tuesday which is why I wanted to shorten the miles needed to hit 900+ for July. No rain in sight for many days unless a stray shower happens.
