Three day streak of good rides ended today. Temperature was still a fantastic eighty four but blistering wind and yesterday's effort sucked the strength from my legs and the fun out of today's jaunt. Really didn't expect to do much today but found myself in trouble early as despite the fifteen plus tailwind still had a really poor ride out of Watkins and up to Gabriel's Junction. Spun easy to Glenora and took it easy on the climb over the ridge at Lakemont. Things got bad on the climb out of Dundee into the wind. Really seemed to be struggling both on the hills and into the wind. Ran out of water for the first time this year before I got to the downhill section at Reading Center. Downhill went slowly and getting through traffic today was also taxing. Found also that for the first time this year that shadows are my friends and they provided me some relief from the dry heat. Felt a little better when I got home and reviewed the weather and found out that the wind was occasionally gusting into the thirties. Usually have good rides when temperatures are in the eighties but today was an exception.
