Navasota to Cleveland, TX

Today's ride began with the threat of rain but fortunately there were only the occasional drops along the way. I had started out the ride with my windbreaker on but soon shed it. The temperatures today were perfect. Today's ride was 72 miles and that gives me a total of 1,522 for the trip.

We are definitely in East Texas now. A large part of the ride was through the San Houston National Forest. Yes, I said forest. There were trees! Then we crossed Lake Conroe a 21,000 acre lake. So needless to say I loved the ride today. For the most part we on small farm roads that had very little traffic. It was great. There were even roads with no chip seal.

We are having pizza and salad for dinner tonight. Linda is ordering the pizza.

Lake Conroe--According to Wikipedia, Lake Conroe is among the wealthiest areas in Texas. That probably explains the good roads.
