 North of Okeechobee
Sun was back out and temperature was headed back up into the eighties. Headed north up SR 441 in hopes of making a good headway before the expected NE killer wind picked up. Wind wasn’t two bad and got through the first twenty without much trouble. Next section was a dozen miles of straight tailwind that went by too quickly. Final section was a little over twenty miles of what I had expected to be crosswind decided to be in my face instead. Took a long time to crank out those final miles. Passed the time seeing how far I could focus on cars once they passed me. Central Florida has many Palm trees and cows but it sorely lacks turns in the roads that becomes really noticeable on endless sections of headwind where even a slight turn can give a little relief. Cranked some miles off and tanned the legs up but not a very entertaining ride overall.
