The shutdown is a gift to the road cyclist, I spent 30 of these miles on the St Johns river road in the St Augustine area(Rt 13), the 4" wide bike lane makes this ride risky (to say the least) especially during the commute to work times.

But today..I spent most of the ride in the travel lane. I could hear the infrequent vehicle coming before I saw them. I miss those days around here.

This was also my first ride over 50 miles on my Domane (used but nice) the bike is a treasure to ride and the Di2 shifting is addictive,

A sign of age is creeping in. Time was if I was at 71 miles that early in the day I would have come up with a way to do 29 miles in for a century.

The wind on the return trip beat me up though and I was past recovery, ah well, we all get old I guess.
