According to the weather forecast today (Tuesday) and tomorrow are the only days that will be above 60 degrees until next week. I’m behind on the miles to reach my goal for January so I got dressed and rode my Lynskey R300 for 38.18 miles on the “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route. I plan on riding tomorrow too. I rolled away at 11:24 AM and finished at 2:28 PM. In between I enjoyed a nice tailwind on the way to new Caney and fought a strong headwind when I reached FM 1314 and most of the way back to Kingwood. The wind increased during the ride just to make it harder.

I didn’t realize it had been almost two months since my last ride on this route. That was November 24th, 2021. I rode the Lynskey R300 on that ride too.

The two dogs at Rock Creek and Northpark Drive were waiting for me when I arrived. I talk about my encounter with them in the video.

Weather conditions for the bike ride: start 71 (humidity 57%, dew point 39), mostly cloudy, wind S 14 mph; finish 71 (humidity 58%, dew point 55), mostly cloudy, wind S 17 mph gusts 25 mph.
