I planned on riding the Lynskey R300 on today’s bike ride but after snapping in the Bolt computer I noticed the front tire was flat. Not wanting to delay the start of the ride I switched to the Canyon Endurace CF SLX. Nice to have that option. The ride began at 11:32 AM and ended at 2:19 PM. The route I chose headed north and turn back to the south at SH 242. I call this the “Kingwood – SH 242 – Kingwood” route. This was the 4th time biking this route in 2021, twice on each bike.

The ride covered 36.27 miles, putting the week at 185.29 miles. Within striking distance of a 200+ mile week if the weather cooperates. Saturday biking will be different due to an electrician coming early. Not sure how long the work will take.

Today’s weather: start 76 (52% humidity, 57 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind ENE 7 mph; finish 80 (50% humidity, 59.4 dew point), partly cloudy, wind E 6 mph. The wind still has a chill to it when I rode in the shade from the Tuesday night front. I wore shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey. Humidity and dew points are lower than usual for Houston.

Wildflowers continue to bloom along the roads. The mowers will begin later this month.
