25.9 miles posted for today. Yargh! Y'all in the north have been sending yer cold air down this-a-way.
Must be some kind of EVIL yankee plot!
Temp for the ride was 37*F, but with winds gusting to 20+ mph and switching back and forth from the North to the Northwest, it was....brisk.
Did the 2 layers of socks withthe plastic bag trick over the toes, and it helped....some.
Couldn't feel my toes by the halfway point.
(Brrrr)
The most heartbreaking section was on a downhill that I had to pedal hard to make 10mph. (normally hit 26+ mph)
The rest of the trip north sometimes had me geared down and blazing along at 5-6mph on the flat.
YEESH!
Most of the trip south was nice. (15-27mph) one section I hit 29mph, but had to stop for a changing light.
Then, of course the tail wind settled down as I hit the incline after the light.
I got very little help from the wind the rest of the way back as the NW wind was just enough in my face to slow me down again.
Tomorrow is supposed to have freezing rain...so I'll get to rest the legs a bit (I'm feelin' the Quads a bit at the moment!)
