April 28 rides

[BeeLady]

Thought I had driven this route to be about 24 miles, but when I came home and went through my maps it looks to be closer to 20 miles. No wonder it only took me 2 hrs even with all my rest breaks.

I wasn't able to get started before the wind (8 - 9 mph, not that bad but a headwind that veered so I had it going and coming!) began. By time I moved my cows, fed my heifers and threw a load of clothes in the wash it was 9 a.m.

This was the first time I've done this loop this year. I enjoyed the hills rather than resisting them and glad I kept going rather than turning around after only a few miles. My cycling is getting smarter with more timely gear shifting. Plus this mornings temperature was very mild, in the 70's so that makes things easier than 95 degrees.

Wildlife spotted: Barn owl, hugely PG whitetail, and a pond slider catching some rays. All in all a lovely ride.
