A beautiful Sunday afternoon for a bike ride. For a change the humidity and dew point were way lower than the other days this week. The ride began at 1:30 PM on my Lynskey Helix bike. I chose the Forest Cove – Oakhurst – Kingwood route but tweaked it a little in Auburn Trails part of Oakhurst and added a trip to Brooklyn Trails on the way to Woodridge Forest to boost the mileage a little. The last time I rode this route was also on the Lynskey October 15th, 2023. I finished at 3:33 PM riding 25.5 miles closing out the week with 223.51 miles for the 5th week in a row of 200+ miles. For September now totals 235 miles, 27% of the way to my goal of 866 miles. I’m ahead of the pace but need to keep adding to the buffer.
Weather: Start 84 degrees, humidity 53%, dew point 64.6, a few clouds, wind NE 14 mph; Finish 86 degrees, humidity 51%, dew point 65.4, a few clouds, wind N 10 mph.

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) – Dozens of area children learned how to properly ride a bicycle during the City of El Paso’s Bike Safety event in Northeast El Paso Saturday morning.
Certified cycling instructors taught classes for children of all ages and put them through courses and stations to teach them the importance of wearing proper safety gear and obeying the laws of the road.
Yesterday was a rain out as far as bike riding was concerned. Today was very different as a cool front arrived dropping the temperature for the 8:35 AM start for today’s bike ride. I rode my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike on the Atascocita – Huffman – Walden route. I hoped to see other cyclists and wasn’t disappointed when I reached Fairlake Lane and Old Atascocita Road. I did see a cyclist before that in Sherwood Trails Village in Kingwood and our paths crossed again in Bear Branch Village. At Kingwood’s Town Center the Pickle Festival was setting up with many booths. I made my way slowly through exiting on Ben’s Branch Drive. The hardest part of the ride was going east over Lake Houston into a headwind. My legs could only pedal in the 35×15 gears at 9 to 10 mph. The reward was the return west over the lake with a tailwind. When I checked the weather after the ride I saw the wind was NE at 17 mph and gusts 28 mph. I skipped the Atascocita Hike and Bike Trail today to avoid the possible mud under FM1960 from the rain. When I rode up to the Pinehurst Trail Drive at FM1960 traffic light a cyclist was waiting for the light to change. We chatted while waiting and then rode together on Pinehurst Trail Drive continuing our conversation. At the stop sign I rode ahead but we rejoined on Kings River Drive. I forgot to get his name. The sun was out for the whole ride. I finished at 11:26 AM riding 35.81 miles. The week totals 198 miles and September moved to 210.28 as I work to the 866 mile goal.
Weather: Start 73 degrees, humidity 80%, dew point 66.8, a few clouds, wind N 13 mph; Finish 81 degrees, humidity 69%, dew point 69.8, a few clouds, wind NE 17 mph gusts 28 mph.

When it’s finished, the trail will extend south from near the White Rock Lake Spillway through Pleasant Grove and down into the Trinity Forest. The Pleasant Grove portion gets tricky in part because of U.S. 175, which is unfortunately right in the middle of where the trail would like to go. To get around this, The Loop Dallas—the organization building the …
MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) – The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded the City of Midland $8.66 million dollars to fund part of its Vision Zero Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP).
The money will be used to make improvements along the Lamesa Road corridor, between Business 20 and Gist Avenue. The city reports 41% of bicycle and pedestrian crashes citywide have occurred along that stretch of roads.
Proposed safety improvements there are estimated by the city to reduce total crashes by 618 over a 20-year period.
Signal timing will be updated on all intersections citywide in hopes to improve driver and pedestrian safety and efficiency.
The funding is from the FY24 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation grant.
