 Blustery Day
Another unusually warm day for early February though not as nice as yesterday. Had planned on going out to the east and doing some more climbing but heavy winds had me opting for something less strenuous than pushing the wind and climbing. Headed instead to Millport then up Burch Hill, on to Horseheads, then catch a big tailwind home. Went out hard and hoped to do some speed work but didn't work out to well as the 30+ gusts pretty much shut me down. Had a decent climb up Birch but it doesn't really even rate as a real climb as it is neither steep nor long but it is twisty and I like it. Continued pushing hard to Horseheads as best I could and was a little disappointed in the average speed but thought I'd make it up on the back nine. Wind had another idea though and started to swirl and messed up any momentum I built up. Either I was going near thirty or near ten on the return. Still enjoyed the day as at least it was a warm wind and I got a good workout.
