I must have not planned for enough time getting ready, because after pumping my tires, getting my gear and making sure I had my yoga pants in my backpack, I got there 10 minutes late. I hate being late and the class was full, so I snuck in the back and did the class in my cycling tights. Thankfully I had a regular wicking shirt on under my PI windstopper jacket.
It was up to about 50 on the way home, but the other side of the main road had a lot of debris. I ran over some huge metal thing with both tires and prayed nothing would happen. I shed the vest I had on over my jacket and the beanie under my helmet.
The ride was nice, but slow for me. 17.34 miles with a speed of around 14.3.
