Very late start on today’s bike ride at 3:55 PM. The delay was from electrical work on my house. An electrician replaced the main FPE panel and added a generator inlet plug. I want to be prepared for hurricane season starting in a couple of weeks. After the work I planned on riding then changed my mind due to the time. But after looking at the weather forecast for Sunday and the chance of rain I decided to go biking. I needed 15 miles to reach 200 miles for the week and I didn’t want to miss it if it rained tomorrow and I could’ve rode today.

The route was “Kingwood Streets” for 19.07 miles. This moved the week’s total to 204.36 miles. And if it doesn’t rain tomorrow I will add to the week. I closed the gap between 2021 and 2020 to 44 miles. Surprising with a shorter ride than usual.

No video today.

I rode my Lynskey R300 today. After yesterday’s bike ride I fixed the front flat tire on the Lynskey. It turned out to be a tiny hole at the base of the valve stem, an area I was not able to patch. I replaced the tube and the front tire was solid on the ride today.

Weather conditions: start 80 (62% humidity, 65.5 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind SE 15 mph; finish 78 (67% humidity, 66 dew point), overcast, wind S 16 mph. The strong wind made pedaling into it difficult.
