52 miles total (25 of sufferfest in direct headwind of undetermined speed - but it sure felt horrid)
3,453 elevation
14mph avg speed (tempered by aforementioned headwind of undetermined strength) :P
65degrees and sunny - beautiful! Wind? Not so beautiful...but that's Oklahoma in Spring for ya.
This was one of those rides where I just wanted to cry upon turning around and realizing I was 25 miles from done with a headwind in the direction of home. LOL My legs are still yelling at me this morning!
Here's a picture from the westwardly direction I was travelling WITH the wind. Note the lovely condition of the roads ahead and Arkansas River on the left. Trees still waking up... It'll "prettier" in a couple weeks. I'm inbetween Sand Springs and the Keystone Dam here.
