Reached November’s Goal Biking Kingwood’s Streets And Trails
A delayed start on the bike ride because I watched the UCI world Cup cyclocross race from Troyes France after getting home from church. Once that was over I got ready to ride. The ride followed Kingwood streets and trails with me aboard the Lynskey Helix bike. The purpose was to ride at least 21 miles to reach my 360 road mile goal for November. The last 2 years I didn’t reach my goal and I didn’t want to repeat that this year. To be fair the missed goals resulted from traveling for Thanksgiving. Mission accomplished today as I biked 21.83 miles. The later started allowed the temperature to go up a couple of degrees but it felt chilly in the shade until I warmed up. The began at 2:04 PM and I finished at 3:47 PM. The sun was starting to move down below the taller trees and the SE wind increased to 14 mph from 10 mph at the start. I wore a long sleeve jersey under a short sleeve one to offset the wind chill. It worked mostly. Overall weather: Start 72 degrees, humidity 68%, dew point 60.5, mostly cloudy, wind SE 10 mph; Finish 71 degrees, humidity 72%, mostly cloudy, wind SE 14 mph gusts 16 mph.
