Atascocita – Walden – Huffman Extended Route Bike Ride
More summer like weather for today’s bike ride. Biking to the south and east I chose the “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman Extended” route traveling 35.18 miles. My Lynskey R300 bike carried me over those miles. I started at 10:48 AM and finished at 1:31 PM just as the heat of the day usually arrives.
Weather conditions: start 85 (71% humidity, 74.9 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 8 mph; finish 89 (64% humidity, 75.4 dew point), partly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph. The wind made for some hard pedaling until I made the turn to the north at FM 2100 and Old Atascocita Road. The humidity level meant plenty of sweat produced. Whenever I stopped sweat dropped on many things.
At Atascocita Shores Drive and FM 1960 the road construction closed one west bound lane. Not much impact biking east after turning right off of Atascocita Shores Drive coming from Walden. West bound on the return from Huffman I rode on the closed lane next to the orange barrels to Atascocita Shores Drive where I turned right.
While I rode Strava sent me a message that I lost the “Local Legend” title on the Kings Crossing North segment to Mark Crosno. Mark rode the segment 31 times to my 30.
