I ended the week with the shortest ride of the week on my Lynskey Helix bike going on various Kingwood streets with a few short segments on the greenbelt trails. I started at 1:27 PM after getting home from church and finished at 2:58 PM. I rode 19.25 miles lifting the week’s total to 262.57 miles, the most in a week this year by about 8 miles. I took a break riding Kingwood streets for two weeks but this was the 19th time this year. To get to this many miles in the week I rode two longer rides and then four in the 30 to 40 mile range before taking it easy today. The image below shows two maintenance events but there was a third on Wednesday with the front tire flat while out biking. The average bike ride distance was 37.51 miles. For September I’ve biked 365.56 miles, 51% of my 720 mile goal. Year to date I stand at 7,101 miles. YTD 2022 is 26 miles behind YTD 2021 and 205 miles ahead of 2020.

It was hot today but the low humidity (for Houston anyway) and dew point made it feel a little cooler. Plus riding in the shade helped. Weather conditions: start 88 (humidity 58%, dew point 71), a few clouds, wind N 7 mph; finish 90 (humidity 55%, dew point 71), partly cloudy, wind N 14 mph gusts 18 mph. As fall approaches on September 22nd the daily highs have dropped a few degrees and the lows have too.
