Cool, clear morning with light East winds that increase slightly as the ride progressed. Started out with Steve M, Matt H, Jim G & Linda F. First leg down to Oswego with moderate headwinds but generally light traffic. Linda peeled off and returned home on FRT & VLG. The four of us continued onto Grove, Reservation and Van Emmons roads (personal faves) before crossing IL 47. Continued onto Fox Road and the Eldamain extension and decided to cross the new bridge (not officially open) and then take River Road to Blackhawk and Hale Roads up to Plano. Short stop at the BP and returned home heading north. Everyone stayed together for the most part. Clothing selection worked great during the increased temps: Pactimo bib tights, Gore Windstopper jacket and shoe covers, LS Voler base layer and PI skull cap and Giro gloves. Great first outdoor road ride of the season which allowed me to exceed 1,000 total miles so far this year.
