Well, a windy day! A little chilly...the sun never came out fully. We've been looking for Mary9761, but didn't find her yet. Mary, we're looking forward to your pictures...cause we didn't take any!

We were surprised to meet Mr. HoosierGiant...a man comes up to me and says "Are you Mr. Silver?" I'm thinking - "oh crud! What man knows me as 'Mr. Silver'". Enjoyed talking with him and hope to meet HoosierGiant too!

So, the ride: Started warmer than expected @ 50 degrees. The wind was about 10mph for half the ride! I don't like wind! We averaged 15.9 mph with >4,000 feet of climbing. Last year, we averaged 16mph, but there was no wind last year (and we had TrekJeni and friends to "pull")

Silver and I tried to do the course a second time, but I bonked 10 miles in and we turned around.

So, the day was 68 miles.

Tomorrow is the hillier day of the Hilly...yippee! Temp should start in the 30's but rise to the 60's.
