Distractions abound to delay starting a bike ride. This morning I messed around with a new computer and didn’t start the ride as early as I planned. Rather than starting before 9 AM the ride began at 9:44 AM. I chose a northerly route taking me farther north than I’ve rode since July 7th, Kingwood – FM1485 – Kingwood. The route averages about 33 miles and I covered 32.4 miles. To reach my goal for the month I need to ride 29.2 miles every day. I am behind that pace now but hope to make up the deficit a little each day. Once I left Kingwood I didn’t see much debris from the hurricane but I did see several trucks hauling debris. I limited my max gears to the 35×15 on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike as I rebuild my fitness. No neck or shoulder muscle pain today so I’m making progress. I finished at 12:28 PM before the heat maxed out. Several days this week could hit 100+.
