Ride Description:

I rolled out of the brewery with Mark with a goal of 60 miles or 4 hours maximum. Some of that was factoring in facing sustained headwinds on the return. Going out obviously felt good with a tailwind, but it was a grind on the return. Mark stayed about 50 feet off the back of me to face the wind as well. He veered off at mile 46 to tack on some more time and miles.

I have missed several ride posts here, but I have been active both on the weekends and weekdays I am doing threshold intervals. Two weekends ago in a group of four, Nancy was bitten by a German Shepherd so that ended our ride for the day making sure there was an animal control report and Nancy had to be picked up and taken to urgent care.
