112 miles today in 6 hours and 40 minutes of saddle time.

The trip started at 10AM in Chicago and wrapped up at 6:45PM. I rode from my home to the Wisconsin border and back. Nice roads, we had a 10-15 mph tailwind heading up and had to push against the same wind coming home. From mile 25 to 55 we held 21+ mph.

My second ride of this route and distance in 3 weeks. I have 427 miles for August so far.
