After not going north since October 27th that’s where I headed on today’s bike ride. The route: Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood and the bike, Lynskey Helix. I haven’t rode the Lynskey on weekdays for sometime but with the easier pedaling I moved it into the rotation. I rolled away at 10:00 AM, I was trying to get going before that but was too slow. The warm weather held on for another day and the wind was not too bad either. The 33.02 miles was about average for the route in 2023 pushing the week’s total to 106.07 miles and November road miles to 204 (57% of the way to my goal). I finished at 12:45 PM.

I thought the wind might be strong on the way back to Kingwood but it wasn’t that bad. The hardest pedaling was on Valley Ranch Parkway from TX 99 to FM 1314.

Weather: Start 79 degrees, humidity 76%, dew point 69.3, mostly cloudy, wind S 7 mph; Finish 82 degrees, humidity 62%, dew point 69.4, mostly cloudy, wind variable 6 mph.
