I didn’t bike yesterday when the weather changed from warm and overcast. Today the weather was better in some respects but windy and cooler. I started the bike ride at 12:31 PM and finished at 2:46 PM. I wasn’t sure I had enough time to ride the route I chose but I made it. I rode north on my Lynskey R300 bike following my “New Caney – Roman Forest Blvd – Valley Ranch” route. My goal for April is 600 miles and today’s 30.53 miles is 5% of the way there. I need to ride an average of 20 miles per day to hit my goal. No Zwift miles this month. My week total stands at 96.12 miles and I am 27 miles behind my pace for last year.

The weather changed and biking north the headwind tried to slow me down but I kept on pedaling. I dressed like it was cold with shorts, leg warmers, a t-shirt under a long sleeve thermal jersey, windbreaker jacket, and full finger gloves that are too small. Weather conditions: start 64 (27% humidity, 29.5 dew point), fair, wind NE 16 mph; finish 68 (26% humidity, 31.9 dew point), Fair, wind NE 9 mph gusts 21 mph. the 21 mph gusts came in handy biking back to Kingwood. I built my average speed up 14.4 mph with its help.

Strava declared me a “Local Legend” on one segment.
