Wind kept me from riding Thursday, by the time I finally had time to ride Friday we had a downpour....today was beautiful though a little cooler. Rode a glorious 25 miles I felt strong and wanted to ride further much further, but I do not want to do that until the weather calms/settles and I can ride more consistently. Build it up steady and slow this year

Though it wasn't all that warm, the winds were low and the sun was bright - my wind jacket wound up in my trunk bag which I had brought for that very reason - it felt fabulous!

The only problem was the reminder of what happens if I do not put on enough chamois cream... There is NO doubt what the discomfort was from - I won't make THAT mistake again!
