Final Hockley Training Ride Before Rollin’ Pearland #7 The final training ride before Rollin’ Pearland #7 is here, and Chain Reaction Cycling Club is ready to put the finishing touches on our preparation. We return to Hockley with Sam, Jeff, Clayton, Roderick, Akintunde, and Ina, who brings great energy in her University of Houston cycling kit. For this ride, Clayton, Akintunde, and Roderick take on the longer 40-mile route, while Jeff, Ina, and I complete approximately 27 miles. Our group rolls out comfortably at 15–17 mph, focusing on steady pacing, hydration, and staying together in the Texas heat. At the gas station, we meet riders from Northwest Cycling Club who are training out of Zube Park. After a short break, we begin the return leg, increasing our pace to around 16–18 mph. I also use the ride as an opportunity to test my heart rate after the unexpected issue during the previous Huffman ride. I push closer to 20 mph and am thankful to complete the effort without another episode. Jeff and Ina arrive back at the parking lot a few minutes after me, while Clayton, Akintunde, and Roderick return about 30 minutes later after completing the full 40 miles. Everyone finishes safely, and the different distances give each rider exactly what they need heading into the big event. With Rollin’ Pearland #7 coming up next weekend, the training is complete. The miles, heat, headwinds, teamwork, and challenges have all helped prepare us. Now it is time to put that preparation to the test.
