Ride Description:
Temperature was 46, but it was a very chilly 46 with some light winds. I almost talked myself out of going and then I almost talked myself into to doing the same 20 mile route that we did yesterday. There were a few cars at the Budweiser Plant with bike racks. I saw only a couple of cyclists while I was out and just had a few cars pass me. It looked like a day for that most would prefer to stay inside. The skies turned dark from the heavy clouds. At 2:30 it seemed like it was about 5:30 and like the sun was about to set.

Easy going ride with Mike and Russell on a chilly and windy day. We all decided with the late start and the feel of the air to keep the ride short. I really enjoyed the ride with friends.

Ride Description:
Friday evening I had not heard from anyone and I had not reached out because I still was not sure what to do. The weather looked questionable after several days of rain and I am, I hope, at the tail end of this illness. Saturday morning I got an email from Peter that a few were going to do a 47 mile from Sosebee Bike Park so I started getting my gear together.
There were eight of us that rolled out from SBP at 10. Not long after starting I got a warning on my Garmin that the PowerTap G3 battery was low and the next thing data dropped to zero. I switched off the power meter to collect the rest of the ride with the GPS. During those first few miles I continually had a small urge to cough, but the legs were feeling okay. Fortunately the group kept a casual pace, but even some of the small sharp rolling hills starting taking more out of me.
The route was a bit unusual and had a lot of turns. Several times we had to catch the lead riders to bring them back on course or we all turned on the wrong roads at other times. I am not sure why, but at mile 30 the route had come back close to the bike park and I heard several say, "I've had enough." Not sure if it was the winds gusts or what. I was actually thinking about turning off anyway. I also had about enough for the day so the news was pleasing to me. The route and the damp cool sharp wind gusts took quite a bit out me.

Temperature Start (F): 55
Temperature Finish (F): 55
Wind: 16+ mph NW
