I have video evidence of why it has been so warm yesterday and today. Watch the video!

Nothing to distract me from starting today/s bike ride so Canyon Endurace wheels down and rolling at 10:40 AM. The weather was warm again with 79 degrees at the start and 82 at the 1:24 PM finish. Wind was stiff from the south at 13 mph and 22 mph gusts increasing to 15 mph and 29 mph gusts when I finished. My legs rested on the way to Caney Creek but got punished on the return to Kingwood. This was the 19th bike ride on today’s route, “Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood”, in 2021. 8 times riding on the Canyon Endurace and 11 times on the Lynskey R300. The distance was 32.45 miles, a little longer than usual because of s side trip to see the cause of the warm weather.

The strong headwind had me pedaling hard and not going very fast. Trees didn’t provide much relief either. Riding east put the wind from my right which seemed easier than riding west fro some reason. Thankfully my legs felt stronger than yesterday.

Because of the strong wind I dressed a little warmer than yesterday wearing shorts, a long sleeve jersey, and a short sleeve jersey. I felt comfortable with the wind keeping me cool. Weather conditions: start 79 (humidity 81%, dew point 73), mostly cloudy, wind S 13 mph gusts 22 mph; finish 82 (humidity 71%, dew point 72), mostly cloudy, wind S 15 mph gusts 29 mph. Riding north a few times the wind pushed me hard enough I didn’t need to pedal to maintain my speed. Based on the forecast tomorrow will probably be a Zwift biking day; some early morning rain and dropping temperature into the 50’s.

Traffic seemed light with no issues. At several intersections drivers motioned me through even though they had the right of way. Courteous drivers are nice.
