O'tay.... The plan was to ride 31 miles. Ya, I know an unusual number. Actually, take a base of 25 miles and increase it by 25 percent "dot,dot,dot" until week 7, the week prior to the infamous Bike-to-the-Bay and then you are about at 100 miles. So, that's the plan.
I can almost hear JimmieJ laughing-out-loud!
This was suppose to be an EM (endurance) ride but that HR would require too much effort, i.e., too slow a ride. Besides, the wind gusts made it too attractive to not attack and take advantage of a little "intervalesque" challenge.
The ride went ok. County Rd A is a little rough but it is less travelled and fewer po-po! While the wind was mostly brutal on the return from the south Wabash trail, I made every attempt to stay above 15 mph, average.
Weather Conditions: 16:46 hours. Moderate and clear. Winds mostly out of the SSW from 9.2 to 12.7 mph. However, gust were a bit much from 18.4 to 21.9 mph. Min: 61 Avg: 62 Max: 63 ºF
