Saturday was slated to be really windy- just couldn't psych myself up for 30 mph gusts so I stayed home until 3:30- just went out for 16 miles.
Sunday I rode 67.5- rode to the start (not too cold, mid-40's) but it stayed overcast and the first 10 miles were along the bike path along the Rillito "river" (usually a big dry wash, as it was that day) and the cold air drainage from the foothills dropped the temperature - possibly into the 30's. My hands were freezing. Finally it warmed up- but it wasn't quite what I prepared for.
Guess the 200k did me some good- 2000 feet+ of climbing didn't stress me at all. The group wasn't really pushing hard though, so that helped. Stopped for breakfast at a golf course restaurant but I didn't really much as we had 20 miles to go and my stomach doesn't do well with greasy or heavy protein meals mid-ride.
It turned out to be a nice day in the end.
