 End of April
Finished off April with a repeat of yesterday's loop. Air temperature today was warm and the sun felt hot. Wind was blowing the same speed as yesterday except in the opposite direction. Goal for the day was to finish with an average speed of 18 mph or better. Nice cross\tailwind out of the gate was helpful and felt great until one of the climbs where my cadense dropped and felt a little tired. Kept the legs spinning at a high rate and kept good pressure on the pedals in the climbs and completed the course in under an hour. Still kind of tired and not the ball of energy I'd like to be on such as nice riding day, but was able to keep a brisk pace with no suffering. Can't see the weather getting any better than it was today as the open sunny hot sections were countered by the pleasantly cool dips into the shaded wooded sections. Total milage for the year is well below where I would like it to be and overall average speed is also lacking. Plan on picking both up in May once I return to NY and get into a descent sleep routine. Hopefully NY will have a hot dry summer.
