Goal:

Push the intensity on the first 60 minutes, cruise back easy on the return

Ride Description:

The weather really has changed for us in the Atlanta area. Today the wind was sustained and gusting with a temperature around 64 degrees F. There were still a good number of people out on the path and that impacted momentum at times.

I felt good on the first 60 minutes and took it easy on the return. On the way out the headwinds provided good resistance to slow down the speed and that was nice.
