After romping in the mountains around Lufkin yesterday in the Pineywoods Purgatory my legs refused to do any more than the flat streets in Kingwood. A mini revolt you might say. I rolled out at 1:27 PM after getting home from church and finished at 3:05 PM. I biked 20.79 miles pushing my week total to 227.12 miles to keep my streak of 200+ mile weeks alive. Not biking one day in the week made it hard to get to 200+ miles.

During the ride I captured the Strava Local Legend on Old HEB Alley so someone might be calling me the “nasty one” like I did jokingly earlier this week. Only recently it was possible to ride this segment because of the construction work behind the shopping center with a ditch crossing the concrete driveway.

I called this a recovery ride from yesterday’s effort. The weather was warmer than the early morning rollout time in Lufkin. Weather conditions: start 80 (humidity 35%, dew point 50), a few clouds, wind N 6 mph; finish 82 (humidity 31%, dew point 49), partly cloudy, wind N 10 mph.
