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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>April mileage update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>April miles 269.04<\/li>\n<li>YTD miles
