An afternoon start for today’s bike ride. In days past that meant more exposure to rain but I think the weather is changing. Wheels down at 1:53 PM riding the Canyon Endurace. I wanted to ride far enough to get even with the pace to reach my 625 mile goal for October. I chose the “Forest Cove – Oakhurst – Valley Ranch” route and went 28.61 miles. My October total is up to 62.34 miles. That puts me slightly ahead of the pace I need. I missed biking Friday due to rain. Part of the route was on the San Jacinto Bayou Greenway which is still a work in progress.

The week finished with 158.98 miles. Not bad considering the weather and other issues I had. Nine times biking today’s route in 2021. I don’t show riding it in previous years.

While no fell during the ride the sky did have plenty of clouds. Near the end of the ride I wondered if some rain would catch me but ti didn’t. Weather summary: start 84 (72% humidity, 74 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind var 5 mph; 83 (73% humidity, 73 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind N 7 mph. Fall has been a dent in the high temperature. Next week is forecast to clear with the lows in the upper 60’s and highs in the low 80’s. I’m ready for rain to leave.

Racked up some personal records in Strava.
