Another adventure on the Atascocita Hike and Bike Trail but without the mud this time. As I was riding through Walden I turned right from Trophy Place Drive onto Falcon Crest Drive planning on taking the hike and bike trail to the left but instead I turned right taking the trail that I never rode before. I wasn’t sure where it went. The trail looped back to Falcon Crest Drive at Aerobic Drive. Crossing Falcon Crest Drive the ride continued on the trail to Trophy Place Drive where I entered another section I had not rode before. Going behind the Walden Golf Club maintenance area I came to Walden Forest Drive returning to streets I ride. I now know where the trail goes and will go there again.

The start wasn’t as early as yesterday rolling out at 9:49 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. The plan was to ride the Atascocita South – Walden – Huffman route but I got off the route some as I recounted above. When I stay closer to the route the distance averages about 37.5 miles but today it was 38.84 miles when I finished at 12:53 PM.

Weather: Start 85 degrees, humidity 71%, dew point 75, cloud cover 36%, wind E 5 mph; Finish 89 degrees, humidity 67%, dew point 76, mostly cloudy, wind calm.
