Didn't have as much time as I had yesterday but thought I'd try to complete the route I flatted out on. Winds were still blowing hard and it was quite cold today at least for Florida. First five miles was dead into the wind and struggled to make good time. Got back on 70 and headed west paying close attention to debris on the shoulder especially where I flatted yeaterday. Made it through the area with inflated tires and kept pedalling west through the prairie. Rode an hour and hadn't found my turn yet so pulled over near a cell tower and checked my phone to find out if I had missed my turn. Found out I was still several miles shy of the turn and so abandoned the route as I didn't think I would have time to complete it especilly if the wind continued to pick up. Turned around and headed back on 70 and got off as soon as I could find a side road. Although the shoulder is adequate 70 isn't really a good road for cycling due to heavy, high speed traffic. Was content with a thirty five mile ride. Had hoped to get in forty five but really wasn't a good riding day as it was quite chilly.
