I started out during the latter part of daylight and finished in the dark. I was hoping to miss the wind and I thought maybe I did, the first 4 miles i had a tailwind thinking for a bit i was feeling really good until a big gust hit me from the side and almost blew me off the road into the ditch. When I made the sharp right turn turned Mr. Wind was there to greet me with open arms! the work began for the next 20 miles and the last 4.5 miles... but for 14 miles it was nice with a tailwind but I had to be work it to get my speed back up and get home to out to pick up dinner for my mother, sister and myself before the place closed. All in all it was a very nice ride, looking for many more of these nice warm days!!!
