Yeah the weather is unseasonably cool today. It's very overcast, and the weather forecast said 20% chance of rain or showers, but I decided to risk it. I stayed off the bike yesterday, and judging from yesterday's posts in this thread, that may have saved me some aggravation. I did beat the rain today. I had a headwind which made a lot of noise in my ears but didn't seem to make pedaling hard for some reason. I think I'm feeling very strong on the bike lately. My speed is up, and my usual hills have become much easier. I made my second-fastest time on the steep climb segment. Gotta see if I can match or beat my record, though. Since it's cool, I didn't sweat much and stink up my clothes.
