Getting started biking today I wasn’t pushing to leaving before 9 AM due to the first day of school. My routes seem to pass a number of schools in Kingwood. So I began the ride at 9:06 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. I chose my “Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman” route for some variety of streets. I should ride this route more frequently since I’ve only biked it 4 times this year. Today I biked 35.36 miles which is about the average distance. The roads go through Atascocita South and then back through Walden to FM 1960 where I return to roads I ride several times a week. I saw two other cyclists, one on Pine Cluster Drive and the other on Fairlake Lane but I did not capture them with the GoPro. I don’t normally see other cyclists during the week.

Weather conditions: start 85 (humidity 76%, dew point 77), mostly clear, wind 3 mph; finish 94 (humidity 52%, dew point 73), partly cloudy, wind S 6 mph. It’s hot during the bike ride but the sun’s intensity feels less, maybe from lower humidity and dew point. I still ended the ride with salt stains and most of the water and ice gone from my CamelBak. I notice that the CamelBak shields my back from most of the sun and heat.
