I hate windy days too! I went to the gym yesterday and spun for an hour then did my core workout. I hope to get some good after work rides in this week (weather permitting) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I want to do my out and back routes. I can make my out and back short, 23 miles from Enumclaw to Kanaskat State Park, or as long as I want like 30-45 miles, depending on when I want to turn around. Then hit the gym for my core workouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I'm doing the STP in one day but I'm not starting at the start at the University of Washington. Instead I'm going to pick it up where it goes by Sumner near the Cannery. I'm going to leave my house in Bonney Lake and cycle down the hill into Sumner and catch the course there. I will get a total of 167 miles. I just don't want to deal with the thousands of cyclists at the start. I've experienced that start a few times and for me it's never been fun.

The extended forecast for Saturday, April 10th looks pretty descent so I plan on doing the CATS Lake Washington Loop, 52 miles.
