The last bike ride of June started at 9:28 AM as I rode away on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. I chose my “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route for the second time in 2022. I thought I biked it more than twice though. The previous ride was on May 31st also riding my Cervelo Caledonia. Today I rode 35.6 miles just slightly more than the previous ride. I ended June at 997.8 miles and only missing one day on the bike. This is the second most miles in a month this year.

A summary of June bike rides. I averaged 34.41 miles per ride. As flat as Houston is I gained 12,635 ft for the month according to RWGPS but I don’t think that is correct. 74 hours biking looks good. I rode my Cervelo Caledonia 19 times and my Lynskey Helix 10 times.

When I started the ride I wasn’t sure if I would be able to go the full route. Rain on the radar hung around the coast and a few stray drops fell for maybe 30 seconds before I left. At the least I wanted to ride 10 miles to make it an “official” ride. Thankfully the rain held off but the high humidity made me wonder if rain would’ve been better. At the 12:12 PM finish sweat ran down my arm sleeves, my gloves were soaked and my jersey and shorts dripped with sweat. This was the first bike ride in awhile with the temperature in the 70’s for both the start and finish. Maybe the heat and lower humidity wasn’t so bad after all. The weather for the bike ride: start 76 (humidity 94%, dew point 74), partly cloudy, wind NE 7 mph; finish 78 (humidity 87%, dew point 74), mostly cloudy, wind E 11 mph. Rain is expected late tonight and Friday.
