Great weather to start the week off and for biking. I started the bike ride at 10:33 am with the plan to ride at least 41 miles. To do that I chose the “New Caney – Roman Forest – Valley Ranch” route and actually biked 42.14 miles by adding a couple of extra side streets to the route. This improved September to 401.41 miles, 57% of my 700 mile goal. Not biking on Sunday put me behind a few miles to reach my goal but the miles today changed that.

About mile 4 another cyclist appeared on Woodland Hills Drive wearing a Garmin jersey going the opposite direction. I waved and said hi. Unusual to see other bikers during the week and especially on this route.

Weather during the bike ride: start 85 (70% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind W 5 mph. Finish 92 (63% humidity), mostly cloudy, wind 7 mph. September Equinox 2018 will be at 8:54 PM CDT on Saturday, September 22. The heat is not as intense but sweat still flows from my body.

Only one stop during the ride at the Shell station on Roman Forest Blvd. water and ice which lasted to the finish at 1:42 pm. With the heat not as high water and ice go farther.

More good weather for Tuesday and biking is planned.
