Ugh. This was a hard ride. I had only two hours, so I thought I could make another 30 miles. What's up with a headwind both ways? And a 5MPH wind - as reported by the weather service? Felt like a 15 MPH headwind every direction I went! I ended up with 27 miles, but probably had a hard time because of yesterday's evening ride. I ran into three other cyclists, and I am happy to report that none of them passed me. Going the opposite direction had something to do with it! Activity Route: -- Elev.
