Ride Description:

Feels like it has been a while since my last ride at the brewery. We have been getting rain almost every weekend for weeks and even today it started to sprinkle about the time I rolled out of the parking area. Other cyclists were dressed fairly heavily for the cool temperatures and the pending rain. I went out with a summer kit with arm and leg warmers and a Suguoi ultralight wind shell. A few miles later and the wind shell came off.

I felt like I battled a lot of things today. The worst being my lack of endurance at this time of year and the inability to put up a good fight against the wind. Most of the miles were under dark skies and brief moments of rain.
