After 1 day of Zwifting I was back on the road today. I decided to change a few of streets on my Atascocita – Walden – Huffman route. I skipped the usual streets at the beginning, added a loop in Kingwood Greens, and compensated for Atascocita Shores Drive at FM 1960 closure for construction. I rode out of the driveway at 10:52 AM and finished at 1:37 PM. During that time I encountered light rain, heavier rain, and sprinkles. The roads were wet in places splattering mud on my Cervelo and shoes. When I finished the hose and soap came out to wash both of them. I rode 35.4 miles putting me within 12 miles of my December 200 road mile goal.

Maybe the construction at Atascocita Shores

On Old Atascocita Road I saw another cyclist and saw him again on Pinehurst Trail Drive on the way back to Kingwood. I didn’t expect to see any cyclists.

Wind was strong out of the south challenging my legs on the way to FM 2100. They were up to the challenge. When I finished I looked at the weather and saw the wind was 14 mph with 30 mph gusts. No wonder I noticed the headwind, the tailwind didn’t feel as strong. The weather will change later tonight and may keep me inside riding on my smart trainer for a few days. Weather while I biked: start 75 (humidity 85%, dew point 71), overcast, wind SE 14 mph; finish 77 (humidity 81%, dew point 71), mostly cloudy, wind S 14 mph gusts 30 mph.
