I was able to ride 2 miles farther this evening than on Monday. This was a combination of an earlier start and .7 mph faster average speed. Traffic on the drive home was helpful in getting home quickly so I was able to begin the ride at 6:15. The 22.79 miles is the longest weekday evening ride so far this year. The weather was friendly for riding: 78 degrees when I left, clear skies and a light to calm breeze. I saw one other rider on McKay Causeway on FM1960 over Lake Houston.

The day off helped in getting the higher average speed. Also I wanted to get home with enough daylight left so that I could put the bikini top on my Jeep Wrangler. I made it but I had to finish putting the top on in the dark. With all of the dry weather and warming temperatures it was time to drive with the top off.

April mileage update:

• April miles 269.04
• YTD miles 1095.71
