Comments: Surprisingly warm ride for NYD in CO (54F), but clouds came in and temps dropped rapidly. In aweful shape from MS/OH/Xmas, etc. Extremely slow on hills. Last road ride for a while, gall bladder surgery on Fri. 1100' vert, 72 rpm Cad, 58F ATemp. Felt like significantly more headwind than tailwind, but could be just the cold air.

Comments: 1st ride after strep throat, rode with cough drops in mouth, only 1 coughing attack. No food, felt fairly weak especially on any hills, but good to be riding at all. Wanted an easy ride but Mother Nature decided against that, wind bomb went off at mile 4, wind 15-25+ SW. Touring speed, racing heart rate, not good. Cad:74, Vert:750'
