23 miles, 1900 feet elevation. One of my usual routes, I didn't get to ride at all last week, we were on vacation camping. Wind was BAD, 25 mph for most of the ride. Varied from direct headwind to crazy sidewind... almost blew me into a ditch a few times. Felt pretty good overall, trying to work up to doing 35-40 mile rides 1x a week. Still trying to work my way to my goal, riding from Gatlinburg to Clingmans Dome in the GSMNP. 24 miles one way, about 4800 feet elevation gain. Just gotta suck it up and do it. This is my first season back on a road bike in 12 years, I started in April (as weather was warm enough). I am almost 900 miles right now
