I have yet to add to this thread as my riding isn't done on a routine daily basis. But I thought, ive read this for months and have opted to join in and will participate with my rides. Today as with every THursday, I meet with another lady (whom we met and started biking together last summer). Today we biked 51 miles, 3/4 of the ride it seemed was in the wind. Oh my gosh. I ached at like mile 20 from struggling. We averted the rain storms by just getting sprinkled on 3 times but the clouds were dark and we could see rain off in the distance or come upon roads still wet from the rain. The deer were plentiful, 1 squirrel, and 1 blue heron. Which was beautiful as he took off from the marshy area, not a bald eagle, but it'll do. Today was cooler, high 70's. Made the hills a little more pleasant!
