They started on FM2100 going north to FM1960. I managed to not taste any of them but they tried. I could hear them hitting my helmet and sunglasses as I rode. The warm moist weather must be bringing the out of hibernation or whatever they do.<\/p>\n<p>I got an earlier start today leaving the house at 9:32 and getting back at 11:47. Scattered clouds with 90 degrees and not much of a breeze made it seem warmer than it really was. I chose a route to Huffman and back. I thought it would be around 27 miles but it ended up at 30.03 miles at a 15.1 mph average speed. I hit 23.8 mph as my max speed and 77.4 RPM average cadence. Moving time was 1:59:38 and 14:59 time stopped, mostly in Huffman at the Chevron station refilling my waterbottle and drying out my gloves and wrist bans. Even though it was not super hot I perspired a lot.
