The Story

Do you remember the hit song by the group, The Association?

The song titled WINDY says it all about today's ride.

But another feature of today's weather was also what all this wind was blowing in, and that is warm, moist air from the south. Today marked the warmest temp on a ride in 2018 at 74 degrees at roll out. There was even a hint of humidity in the air. Daddy like.

But man, that wind, when it hits you as a block headwind is simply crippling. It felt on some of the laps as if the bike was going to stop in its tracks when I turned right into a gust of 20 mph or more.

Still, no issues to report today. This was just some solid saddle time on the road to getting back into some form of riding shape.
