I had all intentions of riding 83 miles today with John, but he called me this morning,to tell me he was sick. No problem, I was set to go, so I headed to the ride start. I had decided to cut off one of the loops I added to reduce my mileage to around 63 miles, now that I was riding by myself. That didn't pan out, once I was on my bike for a few miles, the wind was unbelievable! So I figured I would try and stick it out for 50 miles, NOT! I was cooked from fighting the wind and ended up with 41.
