Navigating Obstacles: A 36.99-Mile Ride to Spanish Cove Drive
South and east to Spanish Cove Drive. I skirted around the trees and brush blocking the trail beside Kingwood Drive. Later a CenterPoint truck blocked the trail beside W. Lake Houston Parkway. The ride deviated from the typical Atascocita – Walden – Spanish Cove Drive route switching to the Atascocita Hike and Bike Trail from Kings Park Way to Farmingham Road. My legs felt sluggish today in the heat and high humidity. The wind was 5 to 6 mph not presenting too much resistance. When I reached Spanish Cove Drive the sky in the southeast looked like rain but nothing developed where I was. I rolled out at 10:18 AM and finished at 1:19 PM riding my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. Plenty of bike races slowed my departure. I rode 36.99 miles inching closer to the pace needed to reach my August goal. I’m 4 miles short of where I should be for 13 days: 375 vs. 379.
