My Legs Weren’t Frisky On A Route I Haven’t Rode In A Month
Searching SportTracks for a ride I haven’t done in awhile I found the Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman route. The last time i rode it was March 21, 2023. That ride was 35.66 miles long. I should’ve checked the route map to see what streets were used but I rode the usual Kingwood streets through Hunters Ride Village, Elm Grove Village, Sherwood Trails Village, North Woodland Hills, Bear Branch, Kings Forest to get to W. Lake Houston Parkway. It turned out that added about a mile to the ride as I rode 36.41 miles today. Originally I was going to ride south on FM 2100 to Spanish Cove Drive but when I got to FM 2100 I turned left to ride to Huffman and FM 1960. My legs were okay but not frisky and I didn’t want to add more mileage. Today’s ride put me over the 200 mile marker for the week at 205.01. It has been awhile since I got that many miles by Friday. I’m getting closer to my goal for May with 624.56 miles, leaving 126 to go. That’s enough for 25.8 days if I rode the 24.2 miles per day pace, almost 7 days ahead. Below is that ride history for the last 12 months. I started at 9:35 AM and finished at 12:26 PM. This is the first time on my Lynskey Helix bike.
Weather: Start 83 degrees, 70% humidity, 71.9 dew point, a few clouds, wind SW 6 mph; Finish 88 degrees, 58% humidity, 71 dew point, a few clouds, wind variable 7 mph. Wind wasn’t too bad today.
