I had to be creative to watch 3 bike races at the same time this morning before starting my bike ride. Flobikes on my Roku showed the Tour de Suisse on a TV, with GCN+ on my Acer Chromebook Spin 713 replaying the Tour of Slovenia and then I jumped to the Belgium Tour. A busy morning.

My bike ride started at 10:54 AM as I rode away on my Canyon Endurace CF SLX bike. The route for today followed “Kingwood to Ramsey Road – Huffman” but I didn’t really ride through Huffman. Returning from Ramsey Road at FM 2100 I continued west on Old Atascocita Road instead of going north on FM 2100 to Huffman. I finished at 1:54 PM. This was the 3rd time biking this route in 2021.

Progress on getting to a 200 mile week. I rode 37.15 miles today improving the week to 149.97 miles. June stands at 353.46 miles, 44% of the way to my 800 mile goal. I am registered for a 62 mile ride on Saturday. That would put me at 200+ miles for the week.

With the weather getting warmer I decided to wear a new pair of arm sleeves I bought earlier this year from Academy Sports. Watch the video to see more of the sleeves. They take the place of sunscreen and keep sweat from running down my arms. They actually feel cool.

What the weather was like during the bike ride: start 87 (69% humidity, 75.6 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind S 8 mph; finish 89 (65% humidity, 76 dew point), partly cloudy, wind S 12 mph. The wind wasn’t too bad. When made a short stop at the Ramsey Road bridge standing in the shade felt cooling as the wind blew.

Looking at the Golden Cheetah summary data my power zone breakdown for zones 1 and 2 are higher than I prefer at 60% of the riding time. I need to get it below 50%.
