Another trip to the inlaws, another windy beach ride. Left Taylor Park and headed down the Trail, then out Pasadena to the beaches and up Gulf Blvd to Clearwater. Ran afoul of construction - pavement grinder's been at Gulf Blvd from Walsingham nearly to Bellair. Blech.

Got mixed up in an organized ride of some kind (charity ride, I think) up near Sand Key; there were a ton of bikies gathered around a feed stop at the Coast Guard station. Made it up Sand Key Bridge in pretty good shape. Obligatory selfie-on-the-beach got eaten by my camera. Stupid buggy Droid. Clearwater Causeway was Headwind City; I just barely made it over the top without getting off the bike and walking. Yay me.

All in all just shy of 41 miles at 15.3. Looks like I'll be in pretty good shape for the 35 mile loop at the Tour de Tow next Saturday. Now I'm sitting here dripping sweat on my mother in law's kitchen floor and massaging a cramp out of my leg. Next up, hit Largo Subs for some of Pinellas' best gyros action. Looking forward some house-divided action with my UK-grad father in law when the 'cats play mah Gators tonight. w00t!
