Took the day off yesterday due to showers, high winds and cool temperatures. It still was quite cool today but the sun was out and winds have subsided, so it was back on the bike. Started out at Freedom Park again and got the climbing done early with on the trail through the park to Jolly Pond Rd and the descent and climb through Cameron's Mill gulch. After that it was fairly flat course with only a few grades remaining. Had to do another four lane detour as the I-64 construction appears to be closing down most of the secondary road underpasses. I do tend to be a little faster on the four lane to minimize my time on it, but traffic was not too aggressive. Played with the virtual partner a bit today trying to figure out whether it was based on my last ride or an average speed. Used to set the speed of the virtual partner on my previous computer, but since I haven't done it on this one not sure how it works. Either way I was losing early in the ride after the detour and had to play catchup. Spent some time riding hard and other times cruising and looking for creative Halloween decorations. Got through most of the headwind and started back towards Williamsburg. Got to the point that I remembered losing momentum last August but was still riding strong today. Got delayed for quite a bit for some repaving but then got to draft traffic for a couple miles through the one lane construction zone. Rode hard down Wilcox Neck until hitting the rail trail to get across the bridge. Was much faster on the trail today as wasn't as concerned about tree route humps since I had ridden the trail a couple days ago. Had good speed up Brick Bat and back into the park. Rode strong today with some good sections and got the seventeen after a strong finish. Regretted not going harder but still a good day on the bike.
