I started off today figuring I'd do 15 miles or so due to the wind. If I did my normal ride, I'd spend the last 10 miles riding straight into a 15 knot wind. That takes all the fun out of it for me! Once I got to the trail, I headed into the wind for a mile or so, but at that point I am at the head of the trail so I have to turn around. I rode south about 6 miles and then turned for home.

A few miles from home I decided to get off the trail and wander around the roads in the development for a bit. I remembered why I quit riding the roads, some of them are really in bad shape! When it was all done I ended up with 20.7 miles. Not too bad considering the wind today. I hope it lets up soon, or at least changes direction!

I did see some wildlife today: a gopher tortoise, a fox squirrel and a bright green snake about 2' long. I think he was a Bianchi, because he was Celeste Green!
