Ride Description:

Very nice weather at the start and even as the temperature went up because the humidity was low. It took better than 10 miles for my knees and legs to warm up. About 26 miles out I caught up with 3 guys on tri bikes and rolled with them for several miles and then we split. Nice guys and great riding with them. Back to a solo ride for the remaining 48 miles and endurance level type steady pace.
