34 miles Friday evening. Mostly an easy pace, saving energy to chase personal bests on some northbound Strava segments, since we had a 10-15 mph wind out of the south.

Did manage to set some new personal bests, but was surprised I wasn't even faster. I may have finally encountered the limits of my platform pedals -- on some bumpy stuff it felt like I was struggling to keep my feet planted. And I prefer to spin whenever possible -- I can feel my feet losing contact on the upstroke near 100 rpm. Probably time to consider foot retention for the road bike, although I plan to keep using platforms on the hybrid.
