Pasta 58 ride from Junction City to Abilene and back through Chapman. The course is generally flat, so unsurprisingly the ride was defined by the brisk south wind, blowing at 20 mph and gusting to 27 mph. The smallish group of riders were mostly well-matched in skill, and at the first SAG several of us decided that we would paceline the southbound leg of the ride into Abilene. We did that well, and so that leg was not so fearsome as it might have been. The crosswinds were still tiring, and I was dropping down to my smaller chainrings to get up the last few hills into JC. Big Poppi's and the other organizers had good SAGs and all the pizza and pasta you could eat at the end, and that is why we do these crazy things! Wore the usual intermediate spring-weather ensemble of Cannondale bibs and SmartWool jersey, which was the obvious choice for the 60-70 F, breezy conditions.
