Kingwood Streets Bike Ride With My Pal The Wind Gusts
Limited time for a bike ride today so I was out the door and Lynskey R300 wheels rolling at 8:53 AM finishing at 10:38 AM. I did manage to watch the finish of the Tour of Turkey and Giro di Sicilia while eating breakfast. I biked 20.48 miles, a little more than I predicted in the video. This was the 6th ride on the Kingwood Streets route this year though the routes are not identical.
I plan on a longer ride tomorrow to make for today’s shorter ride and get closer to a 200+ mile week.
Wind continues to blow around at strong levels. Weather conditions today: start 75 (humidity 90%, dew point 72), overcast, wind S 17 mph gusts 30 mph; finish 76 (humidity 90%, dew point 73), overcast, wind S 17 mph gusts 28 mph. A “cool” front may arrive late tonight and maybe the winds will let up some. A few times I felt a fine mist but nothing more. With the 90% humidity I probably was squeezing the moisture out of the air.
A Strava PR on Look! A Tree! (3:01). I don’t look up segments before a ride so when these happen they are unexpected.
