OK... so if this was cyclo-cross it would have been way cool! The more rain and the more mud the better!!!
Weather Conditions: 1107 hours. Little wind out of the east at 5.8 mph and then north north east 3.5 to 4.6 mph; thus, while changing direction not much of an issues. Also, about half way into the ride (about Keener going north) a very light rain began progressing into a full down-pour along County Rd 1 all the way home. Min: 63 Avg: 65 Max: 62 ºF.

Hilly 50
Fallin Timbers hill climbs within a 50 mile ride. Was great using the "705" on the hills. Jerome Rd has a 9 percent grade while Stitt has a 4 percent grade. The" speed bumps" are a 4 percent, too. Jimmie says he can hammer Jerome at over 18 mph! That's very impresssive.
On a side note: I found a suggestion on changing the "705" setup from saving power and memory to accurately presenting the the route taken, that is, mapping that won't suggest I short cutted through a field. I will have to change the GPS to update every second instead of updating when it senses a change.
Weather Conditions: 1047 hours. Warm and clear. Winds started out southerly at 3.5 mph increasing to 9.2 mph out of the SW.
Min: 82 Max: 84 ºF
