Wrapping up the week with today’s bike ride. After church I watched stage 3 of the Giro d’Italia before getting ready to ride. The weather had time to heat up and ge the wind blowing. I rode away on my Lynskey R300 at 1:39 PM. I chose a route with a combination of streets that I haven’t rode before and labeled it “Kingwood – Eagle Springs – Walden – Atascocita”. The streets were ones I rode as part of various routes but not in this combination. Before the ride the week totaled 228.72 miles and with today’s 25.98 miles the week ended with 254.69 miles, the most miles in a week this year. This was the most miles in a week since the week of April 20th to 26th, 2020 when I biked 262.12 miles. May biking totals 276.08 miles towards my 700 mile goal.

Three rides were 40+ miles contributing to the highest week in 2022 so far. Five rides on my Cervelo Caledonia bike and two on the Lynskey R300. The average distance was 36.38 miles.

Wind speed increased from yesterday. Riding to Eagle Springs Parkway was mostly into the headwind. Summer like temperatures produced salt stains on my gloves and arm sleeves. Weather during the ride: start 89 (humidity 64%, dew point 75), a few clouds, wind S 10 mph gusts 23 mph; finish 89 (humidity 63%, dew point 74), a few clouds, wind SE 15 mph gusts 27 mph.
