 Round the Lake
Couldn't decide where to ride so I ended up going around the lake again as it has some distance and a few moderate climbs and epic scenery. Started out with a couple of good climbs out of Watkins and up to Himrod. Had planned on staying on the ridge again but must have missed a turn as I dropped back down unto SR 14 in Dresden. Legs got kind of heavy on the climb back out of Dresden and also became very aware of the north wind. Gave up any effort of keeping a high pace and went into tour mode. Got caught by two riders coming out of the dip just going into Geneva. Two guys from the college there told me it was a good ride so they must have been chasing me for awhile. Never saw them though. Also could not convince them to continue with me either as they were done for the day. Caught the tailwind up the East Lake road and climbed to Ovid just before Samson Park. Seldom go through the park anymore due to the deteriorating road conditions. Got some lunch and checked the radar and it showed a storm cell moving through to the south of me near Valois. Thought I was going to get wet again but passed through without seeing the storm or even any wet roads. Except for the windy bit between Dresden and Geneva it was a good day.
