Saturday was a bit windy, especially after the stop in Portsmouth. It was a crossing wind for the most part -- the wind was due West. It blew steadily in the mid-20s with gusts to 35mph (according to the historical data at wunderground.com for Chillicothe). Toward the mid-afternoon, the wind died out a bit and south of Waverly there's good shelter with the trees and hills helping to knock the wind down. It was a challenging ride, but it won't be one for the TOSRV record books. (It was my fifth, and it was probably the most favorable conditions for the weekend as a whole of any I've done -- 04 was better but 05, 06, and 07 were not). It could have been a whole lot worse!

Sunday was much nicer, with some light winds crossing out of the NW to keep things honest. It was sunny and the humidity was low. We had a delightful ride back.

Congrats! on your long day Saturday!
