Rode 20 miles today and 30 yesterday here in Chicagoland . Yesterday, it was high 30s with continous rain mixed in with some sleet and cold wind. Today was much better, it was high 30s with clouds, cold wind mixed it with some dry crystal ice pellets every now and then. It did not rain during the ride today so it made it better than yesterday. The wind was strong today. Going with the wind I was passing cars on the residential streets. Into the wind was like climbing a hill.
