2013-03-31-Sun-35mi-McDowellCreek

Lots of friendly cyclists out on McDowell Creek Road enjoying a sunny Easter Sunday. I set out to do 30 road miles, but wound up doing 35! I feel much better about regaining my stamina now. Took my usual crosstown route to cross the viaduct and reach McDowell Creek Road, then rode well south of the Interstate in search of the end of the pavement and the start of the gravel. Didn't find it before discretion became the better part of valor and I turned for home. Sunny and 64F, with 8 mph NNE breezes. Very nice for riding, and the same uniform of SmartWool and bibs that was a trifle warm yesterday was perfect today. I forgot to recharge my Garmin yesterday, so this data is from the "My Tracks" phone app, which has about the same battery usage as the other apps I've tried.
