Warm, Headwind For Most Of The 20 Miles Afternoon Ride Home Part 2 of 2

The ride home was not easy and the headwind didn't help! My legs were shot, I did my best to keep them spinning, after 8 miles my lower back, started to hurt and all I wanted to do was stop... Knowing this wouldn't help nor get me home the next 12 miles, I kept pedaling and when it got too bad I'd stop pedaling and stand for a second or 2 sit back down and start pedaling again. It was a long torturous 12 miles but pedal by pedal I made it back and made the ride successful. I took a different route back which was much better and safer. The drivers for the most part were not as aggressive even with the increase in traffic. Onwards to the next great adventure... Be safe out there and enjoy your ride!
