With a few extra minutes thanks to a later sunset and clear skies I was able to ride almost 21 miles this evening. If I had left at my usual time of 6:22 instead of 6:29 I should have made it over 21 miles. A front passed through Houston mid-morning clearing the skies of clouds and leaving a clear sky with low 80’s temperatures. When I left on my ride it was 82 degrees and a light breeze. I wore another kinda new pair of shorts that I bought 3 or 4 years ago but never took out of the package. I am on this replacement mode so I will have all of my old shorts out of service by Wednesday when I ride next. Also I wore my red Pearl Izumi Select Gel gloves. They were as good as the blue pair I wore yesterday as no surprise.

The evening ride was smooth with a nice tail breeze heading south and not much headwind coming back. My legs were not complaining from the last two days of riding but I will take tomorrow off to not over do it. I did see two other riders out. My route will expand in the coming days as the daylight increases in the evening.
