Cooking In Late September Heat Biking In Kingwood
I biked each day this week wrapping with today’s ride on Kingwood streets. I started after getting home from church at 1:25 PM on my Lynskey Helix bike. Changing the route some I rode on streets that were new to me in Kings Point, River Bend, Woodspring Forest and Woodstream for a total of 21.33 miles. I guessed it would be less than that though. The miles brought my week’s total to 246.16 miles and September to 851.42 miles. This was the second highest week dating back to the week beginning July 4th.
It has been extra hot for September and starting the ride at 1:25 PM it was 93 and when I finished at 3:17 PM it was 95. Thankfully while it was hot the humidity was low at 40% and then 36% when I ended the ride. There some people outside on their bikes so the heat did not deter them either. Monday a front should pass through lowering the high temperatures into the 80’s and lows in the 60″s.
Biking Kingwood streets I don’t try to go as fast or change gears like I do on extended rides.
