Sunday’s weather was damp and dreary so I didn’t bike but today was completely different. Blue sky, almost warm but with a strong wind as the bike ride happened. I started the bike ride at 12:09 PM after waiting for it to warm up to almost 70. Heading north on my Lynskey R300 bike I biked my “Kingwood – FM 1485 – Kingwood” route extending it a little by going north over Caney Creek and then under US59/I-69 to head back to Kingwood. By the 2:40 PM finish I biked 32.23 miles. A good start for the week to get to 200+ miles. With March at 816.82 miles the most in a month since last October’s 822.29 miles which I can pass on tomorrow’s bike ride.

This was the 4th time biking this route in 2021, 3 times on my Canyon Endurace and 1 time on my Lynskey R300 bikes. The Drift camera setup is visible in the photo below nestled below the bike computer.

Overnight the temperature dropped to the low 40’s but warmed up as the morning sun moved higher. Weather conditions for the bike ride: start 69 (31% humidity, 37.1 dew point), a few clouds, wind E 10 mph; finish 71 (30% humidity, 38.3 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 13 mph gusts 20 mph. The wind increased during the ride making the return leg back to Kingwood harder with a headwind. An advantage of waiting to start was not wearing leg warmers. I did wear shorts, a long sleeve thermal jersey (because the chilly wind), and a windbreaker jacket. A glimpse of today’s attire and bike.
