Max Speed: 31.5 mph

Group: Joe and me

Goal: My goal was to enjoy the ride with hopes of racking up some decent time in L3

The Ride: With the weather predictions, rain all day yesterday and mist this morning I can kind of understand why just about everyone bailed out on riding. But the forecast showed clearing today so Joe and I rolled the dice and hoped for the mist to stop. We lucked out on the mist, but halfway through the winds starting kicking up and the remaining miles home proved to be a challenge. I count today's ride as good training since I logged some descent time at Tempo (L3). Good enough to keep on building sustainable power output.
