I took two days off from biking before resuming today. I waited for the streets to dry off from the early morning rain and started the ride at 11:24 AM. Choosing the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” route I biked 33.57 miles. I will need to ride longer distances on a couple of days if I want to bike 200+ miles this week. May now totals 767.91 miles. Today was the fifth time I rode this route in May. Below is the month’s summary and goals status.

Weather included rain during the night and early morning but I trusted the forecast that the rain would leave. The rain stopped before 8 AM and by the time I started biking the streets looked like it had not rained. At first it was a little chilly as I wore shorts and a short sleeve jersey but the sun came out and warmed me up after a few miles. Weather during the bike ride: 76 (78% humidity, 68.9 dew point), partly cloudy, wind variable 5 mph. Finish 85 (60% humidity, 69.8 dew point), partly cloudy, wind W 9 mph. The light wind did not pose a problem most of the time but biking back to Kingwood on Kings River Drive into a headwind was hard until I turned north on W. Lake Houston Parkway.

In Walden I saw a fellow church member outside working so I stopped to talk. He was doing some chores before it heated up. The conversation came around to driveway joint filler and he showed me a piece of plastic he put in a seam in his driveway. Maybe another fix it project for me to try.

The mic in the video still scratches but not quite as bad as the previous video. I moved the mic to my helmet strap below my chin. Next ride I will move it to the side some. Maybe I need to learn how to do voice over.
