86 Degrees Became 76 Blue Sky Bike Ride
The 86 degree temperatures left town replaced by 76 degrees. The sky is still brilliant blue and clouds are nowhere in sight. I set out on the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route at 12:16 PM and rode 32.94 miles, adding to my March total at 653.28 miles.
I changed my attire from yesterday needing to counter the chill in the wind. Today I wore shorts, heavy long sleeve jersey and a wind breaker jacket. I really like this jacket with the three pockets on the back with elastic across the openings. I wish I could find another like this.
Weather during the bike ride: start 72 (49% humidity), a few clouds, wind NE 8 mpg. Finish 76 (40% humidity), fair, wind 6 mph. The wind wasn’t that strong but it seemed that no matter which direction I rode it was into the wind. I think my legs are still recovering from yesterday’s longer ride on the Spring Creek Greenway.
The ride was an ordinary one with nothing catching my attention. I slowly improved my average speed to 14.0 and held it there until the 30 mile point when I was back in Kingwood. I missed the school traffic and finished the ride at 2:43 PM.
Wednesday’s weather will repeat today and I plan on biking.

It’s good that I am biking every day other wise I don’t think I could match 2016, 2017 and 2018 or stay close on YTD miles.
