Joined Linda F's Club road ride from Silver Springs State Park to Newark. Rode with Jason, Steph, Chester, Jeff N, Electric Gene and James G. Clear, cool start with strengthening SW winds of 15-20 mph made for a pleasant slog down to the turnaround point. Routing down toward Milbrook with a loop using Rogers and Finnie Roads. After stopping at the Newark BP, we crossed IL71 for a couple of miles and double-backed onto Lisbon Center Road and the combo of Lisbon, Helmar and Immanuel roads up to Legion and East Highpoint. All northbound segments turned into dragstrips with the strengthening winds. Eldemain from IL71 to Fox Road was particularly brisk, only to be slammed with strong headwinds on the last western 2 mile stretch. Reached 80°F by the finish. Great to be outside instead of on the basement trainer.
