Finally a sunny and lovely day on North Padre Island! Got in a 28 mile ride on this 70+ degree but quite windy day. It was a blast on the way out, with wind at our back -- we were flying along at 19-20mph on the flats, which I almost never get to do any more with all the utilitarian rides we do (and usually on MTBs, but here we're on roadies). Of course, once we turned around and slogged back into the wind, our speed dropped to 11-13 mph. Just thankful to be able to get out in shorts in JANUARY! My biking tan lines are coming back!
