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: Allegheny River Trail from Franklin, PA.

Good brewery after ride at least. VERY flat trail, but moderate wind. 300' jumbo feet vertical. Sandy Creek connector was flooded, would have been VERY windy up there. Good brewery after ride.

Comments: Rode at ART (Frankling) again on a sunny but blustery cool day, ATemp=54F. Had a 17 mph avg until I climbed up to the Sandy Creek trail. In terrible shape, impossible to get any speed at all. Wind was very variable 10-25+ mph. What should have been a tailwind last 5 miles was intermittent strong headwind. Not a fun ride, but a good workout. 500' vertical (on Sandy Creek). Cad=74

Then left LA-31 on shitty pavement into shitty headwind. Fucking miserable ride on 2nd half. How can the return leg be that much longer than the out leg? Most miserable ride in years!
