N'Emonda. Sunny, cool - 42 at the start, pretty still to begin but West/WNW winds started to pick up after the first hour to 10 mph with gusts up to 16 mph. Early start (for me) @ 7:45 am, from the Hanson Rd GW parking lot. Great route for the wind conditions. I didn't see any other riders but there were a ton of cyclist cars parked when I got back, probably a FVBSC club ride. I rode out through Clare, first time in a while, passed through Sycamore on the return with a water/snack stop at the Marathon station on IL-23 just North of town. I wore a light LS jersey with SS merino T underneath, wool socks and long fingered gloves - comfortable throughout the ride. Temps got up to the high 60's by ride's end. The new Emonda was fresh off of a bottom bracket replacement, topped off sealant and freshly cleaned and lubed drive train. It road like when it was new. Good hard workout: Leg1 Outbound: 31.5 miles, 1:59:36, 15.8 mph avg Leg2 Inbound: 30.8 miles, 1:40:30, 18.4 mph avg Stopped at the Geneva Ale House for lunch and a Cider afterwards. Fair warning: the Ghost Pepper Chili is very tasty but order extra sour cream to cool things down. I sweated more eating the chili than on the whole 62 mile ride this morning.
