I was able to go a little farther on this evening’s ride than yesterday’s ride. Not by much but it was .7 of a mile for a total of 28.48. I increased my average speed from 15.2 to 15.4 mph. This was probably caused by the wind being much lighter than yesterday. The wind was 8 mph from the east and the skies were still clear. Temperature was not a factor other than it was about 73 degrees when I finished but it was a little cool in the shade when the sun was down below the tree top line. The humidity continues to be low: 25% when I started and 32% when I finished.

Unexpectedly I met 5 bikers that were coming back as I was going south on Fairlake Drive and Old Atascocita Road. On my evening rides I do not usually see other riders. My average cadence was up to 82.5 rpm from 80.4 rpm. Maximum speed was 22.2 mph a little lower than yesterday. The extra sunlight helps to get this longer ride in.
