Since the Saturday ride is likely only going to be 25 or 30 miles because of the weather, and just in case the Saturday weather is uncooperative, I went for a Friday ride thinking to take advantage of nice temps. Hah! The theme of the ride was: wind, wind, wind.
The wind beat the dickens out of me. The headwind heading southwest on Carpenter Pond was spirit-breaking. I had no spirit left to ride the four climbs at the end. Despite that, I think I rode the climbs just as fast as if I had had plenty of energy left. What does that indicate?
