Lots of sunshine today compared to the overcast sky on Saturday. Warmer too! I thought starting at 1:08 PM the chance of meeting other bikers was slim but as I approached Cross Country Drive in Walden 4 bikers stood at the stop sign.

My planned route took me on what I call “Atascocita – Walden – E. Lake Houston Parkway”. At the time when I met the other cyclists they invited me to ride along as they went to Buc ee’s in Baytown. But that would be 40 to 50 miles longer than I wanted to ride. They said I could ride with them over Lake Houston and I agreed. They rode a little faster than me and when we turned onto FM 1960 it didn’t take long for them to pull away. That figured if they were going to ride that far and get back before dark. I watched them in the distance and turned around at E. Lake Houston Parkway as planned. My ride ended up at 24.75 miles. This puts me over my 300 mile January goal for road miles with 304.5 miles. With 5 more potential road biking days left I hope to add to that amount.

As I mentioned in the video I tried a different position for the GoPro using a helmet mount. I think this position allows more views with swiveling my head. I need to master keeping my fingers out of the video when I turn the camera off. The sound picks louder too with the microphone on the bottom of the GoPro closer to my mouth.
