only my 4th ride of the seasonam so far behind this year! But - did manage to do our 25 mile loop - let me complain about the 20mph wind & sore legs from weight lifting the day before! /waaa - I know, I know. Finished the ride with very sore legs, numb against the saddle, and my big toe started to fall asleep... I had serious chamois issues that I couldn't manage to solve mid-ride - hope it was just that and not the saddle.
Freaky: one small stretch on Cornelius Schefflin - moderately busy 2 lane highway(?) in farmland. A car was in the process of passing, so he was oncoming & in our lane. There is no bike lane and no shoulders, at most 2" of pavement to the right of the white line before you hit jumbo gravel. Oncoming car could not complete the manouver before he reached us, and due to the extra wind sheer it blew my DH off the road into the gravel / ditch. He managed to not get hurt, but it was a few hundred feet before I had any room to pull off the road & see that he was okay. Hate that section! I don't know if the car was in a passing zone - I was too intent on staying upright to look.
