Great start this week biking. I hit the road at 10:46 AM biking the “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route. By the time I finished at 1:41 PM I rode 36.32 miles. This was the fourth time to ride this your in 2020 all on the Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike. The Canyon odometer turned to 16,644 miles with this ride.

This week the temperature will heat up into the 90’s with lots of clear sky. Today’s weather while I rode: start 87 (52% humidity, 67.5 dew point), fair, wind NE 5 mph. Finish 90 (42% humidity, 63.4 dew point), fair, wind variable 4 mph. I wore a new pair of Bellwether Endurance Gel shorts and a short sleeve jersey. Not battling a headwind made pedaling nice. I built my average speed up to 14.5 mph and held it there until I got back to Kingwood Drive.

Today’s video lasts 41 seconds showing highlights of the bike ride. I created it using the GoPro app on my phone.

Some wildflowers are holding on along the US59 frontage road headed north to FM 1314 thanks to lots of sunshine and just enough rain. I saw one other serious cyclist as I rode in Oakhurst but he surprised me before I could turn the GoPro on. The 3 second delay after I push the record button requires me to spot things in advance. I use the QuikCapture mode to save the GoPro battery. The helmet mount is what I used today. My new mic shipped today.
