Ride Description:

It would not seem by the temperature that it would have been that cold, but with drizzle rain at time and high humidity it felt a lot colder to me. I have to admit the first four miles I debated on turning around and going home to train. However, I stuck it out and I am glad I did. A little more invested into the fitness bank.
