I had hoped to bike every day in May but that evaporated with yesterday’s noontime rain storm as I stood dressed to leave on a bike ride. To make up for the lost miles I added a few miles to a route and came up with the “Kingwood to Peters Road – Kingwood” route biking 41.06 miles. So far this week both rides are over 41 miles and I plan on keeping that alive with tomorrow’s bike ride. I rode my Lynskey R300 bike today rolling its odometer to 3,958 miles. That is way behind my Canyon Endurace’s almost 22,000 miles. YTD 2021 miles trails 2020 YTD by 63 miles so the missed ride didn’t put me too far behind.

Before each ride I spin up the speed, cadence, and power sensors. The cadence sensor didn’t respond and when I checked the battery it was almost dead. I replaced it and started the ride. But during the ride cadence wasn’t consistent. At the 9 mile point I stopped and found the case wasn’t snapped on all the way. After that no more issues.

On Old Atascocita Road I saw 2 other cyclists headed my way. At the church on Fairlake Lane I saw 2 cars, one with a bike rack, and figured these 2 probably go with the cars. When i returned by the church the cars were gone.

With gorgeous weather I stopped at Peters Road and Ramsey Road and took these photos.

Weather for the bike ride: start 70 (68% humidity, 58.8 dew point), fair, wind N 7 mph; finish 77 (55% humidity, 60 dew point), fair, wind N 7 mph. I knew it would warm up during the bike ride and dressed with shorts, a long sleeve jersey with a short sleeve jersey on top. I was a little chilly at the start but once I warmed up I was comfortable.

No strong wind like Monday’s bike ride allowing me to set a good pace.
