The Canyon Endurace bike was a tiny bit lighter on today’s bike ride. I received a RMA from GoPro to return the Hero 7 Black camera for warranty replacement due to the freezing up so it went back leaving me with the Hero 7 Silver camera for today’s bike ride.

The weather is changing today and I experienced some of the change during the ride on the “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route after starting at 10:13 AM. It is probably good that I started later than usual because I missed the rain falling but not the wet road on FM 1314 before I stopped for an apple fritter break. Weather at the start and 1:22 PM finish: start 88 (78% humidity, 80.1 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind N 4 mph. Finish 88 (74% humidity, 78.6 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 13 mph. The same temperature at the start and finish was not the norm for the last week especially when it is 88 degrees.

Today’s 38.18 miles is the most of the 10 times I rode this route in 2020 and positions me to hit 200+ miles for the week on Saturday’s bike ride. The week’s total is 182.1 miles and July is at 563.07 miles, 70% of the way to my 800 mile goal. Of the 10 rides on this route 6 were on the Canyon Endurace and 4 on the Lynskey R300. Year to date road miles is also at 70% of my 7,000 mile goal with 4,905 miles.

I did see another cyclist briefly in Oakhurst when he passed going the opposite direction on a short street between Southwood Oaks Drive and Mills Branch Drive. To quick to get the GoPro out.

The Golden Cheetah program presents the ride data in a different way.

Strava reports today’s ride was harder than my usual efforts.
