I had a good 20-mile ride home. I started on a different path that I haven't ridden in a while. Turns out the road construction along the way benefited me because of a (relative) lack of traffic. I also had good luck with lights along this route. To add to that, there was a strong tailwind. So I bolted along at a pretty good clip.

At an intersection along the way I saw a little girl twisting around in her car in an effort to get a good look at my blinking lights. I tell you: those lights really attract the kids !!

It was very nearly dark at 7pm today. Won't be long before the entire ride home is in the dark.
