Later start at 3:08 PM for the bike ride so I rode my Lynskey Helix bike on Kingwood streets. I rode through The Enclave section for the first time. This section is beside King Crossings Drive where I ride often. The weather was 91 degrees at the start with the wind from the SE at 18 mph. The helped keep me cooler than I expected and the tree shade was welcomed too. In the video I rode close to a large doe beside Kingwood Drive. The doe didn’t run off as I passed about 10 feet from her. I finished at 4:58 PM.
Missing Wednesday due to rain didn’t stop me from riding over 200 miles for the week with 229.31 miles. The first three days were 40+ mile rides. This the 5th week in a row of 200+ miles. I’m slightly ahead of the pace needed to reach June’s goal of 908 miles with 293.5 32%).
The historic 4-mile Columbia Tap Bike Trail that connects Third Ward to Brays Bayou and downtown looks no different now than a year ago when I wrote about the bleak hike-and-bike path.
There are no security lights, historical markers, protected crosswalks or other amenities. The only improvements are new solar-powered lights and sidewalks on a portion of the trail near the Cuney Homes housing complex funded by the Houston Housing Authority.
If it weren’t for big plans by city officials and community organizations to improve the …

Mostly repeating last Saturday’s bike ride I rolled away at 8:33 AM on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. The Atascocita – Huffman – Walden route goes through several Kingwood Villages, south on W. Lake Houston Parkway, moving to Kings River Drive and Atascocita Shores Drive to connect with FM 1960 at the west shore of Lake Houston. I like this route on Saturday’s because other cyclists usually are there too and today was no exception. The key to seeing them is not leaving after 8:30 or before. I was a few minutes late from watching the Tour of Britain Women race. No train blocking the crossing on Old Atascocita road like last Saturday. The wind was light at the start but increased to 13 mph with 21 mph gusts by the time I finished at 11:15 AM. I felt the difference in the wind but my direction was not into it after making the turn at FM2100. I rearranged the order of some of the streets in the beginning and the end to get to FM1960 quicker and add distance at the end.
Weather: Start 80 degrees, humidity 85%, dew point 75.1, fair, wind N 4 mph; Finish 90 degrees, humidity 64%, dew point 75.8, a few clouds, wind S 13 mph gusts 21 mph.

Been waiting almost 10 years for this day! In 2014 my sons began to express interest in riding mountain bikes and join me in my love of cycling. At the time, I had a big audacious thought that evolved into a dream and then became a goal of mine and my sons. After racing in 24 Hours in the Canyon I had the thought – how cool would it be to be able to race a 24 hour 4-man team with my 3 sons? Through the years as their love of cycling and racing grew, the thought turned into a dream – how cool would it be to be able to not only race a 24 …
