The Plan: ridewithgps.com/routes/18332724 The "slow" 42 -
I got a late start, so drove to Rite Aid (observing Ken and Bob Wolf at Heywood St) and got the bike ready and intersected the riders at the blinker on the way to Strawberry Hill (missing 2+ miles from the Natl Park Parking lot).
Interesting things: After the ride I found my tires at 70 lbs pressure - perhaps that's part of the reason things were sluggish, besides the cold (and according to Wolf dense air which from 75 deg to 30 deg slows you by 1 mph)

Temps in the 40s
Ditched phone recording - no temps. Metrics close to Garmin,
I did a lot of rescuing this ride - First Susan dropped a cookie that looked like a PB&J without the J. Then about 3 miles later my rear blinkie popped off and Susan noticed, so I reversed course to pick up the pieces.
