60F, some clouds. No wind.

My ride was pretty quick. Some serious-looking roadie went by me (other direction) shortly after I got on the MUP, and I was worried he might turn around at the end of the MUP and try to get me, so I bumped my cruise speed to 20MPH and pretty much held it for 5 miles except for stop signs. Eventually I caught up to 3 cyclists close to where I leave the MUP so I let them pace me.

Had to wait for a freight train to cross the road, then drafted the minivan I was behind whilst waiting for the train. Easy 20MPH (the speed limit) up an incline. Fun.
