A Giro d’Italia rest day allowed me to start today’s bike ride a little earlier at 10:05 AM. Plenty of sunshine, light wind, and 85 degrees made for good biking. I rode north to Roman Forest Blvd. where I made the u-turn under US59 and headed back to Kingwood. I explored a new street in West Tavola and then rode to US59. I call this the New Caney – Roman Forest Blvd – Oakhurst route. Now I biked this route 5 ties this year and I rode my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike today. Biking 35 miles is average for the route. I only need 197 miles to reach my 749 mile goal for May. My legs felt good. The link to the AXS.SRAM.com ride report. I made 21 rear derailleur shifts. Not much terrain changes requiring shifting. Finished at 12:50 PM, sooner than usual.
