86 km today.

A joy riding out into the country with a stop at a restaurant midway. But returning back homeward, 75% of the trip was combined crosswind and headwind blowing around 25-35 km. / hr. It took every ounce of concentration to keep my bike from not moving around on the highway shoulder out in the prairie open.

For the first time, I experienced dead legs on a flat piece for about 45 min. Just scary to me but obviously I was working my legs in overtime/overdrive with the wind.

If it weren't for the lovely lunch I had (again eggs benedict over crab cakes with chipotle hollandaise sauce), I would have collapsed later on.
