The uncharacteristic weather continued for today’s bike ride making for a very pleasant 2 hours and 42 minutes of biking. Starting out at 10:26 AM I headed north on the “New Caney – Tavola – Valley Ranch” route riding 36.11 miles.

Weather during the bike ride: start 81 (61% humidity, 67 dew point), a few clouds, wind variable 5 mph. Finish 88 (47% humidity, 65 dew point), partly cloudy, wind N 7 mph. The light breeze was welcome news for my legs and not much of an issue even when I rode into the headwind.

I built up my average speed to 14.4 mph holding it there until I was back into Kingwood. Strava told me my bike ride was consistent with your usual efforts.

The construction zone at I-69/US59 and Community Drive is still restricting the lanes so I moved to Loop 494 in Porter.

On the way back home I stopped in Okahurst and took these photos.

The new tires are performing nicely. I have noticed the little dots in the thread to gauge usage. These were long gone on the tires I took off.

I finished the ride at 1:08 PM feeling cool, calm and glad from a nice ride.
