Went for a long ride this morning. Ended doing 4 hours and about 70 miles. Heavy winds to start the day so I headed towards the hills to try to find some cover from the winds. My normal long route heads east which is pretty open to the elements. I did a bit of exploring to find some routes on the west side and ended up putting in about 2 hours on that side before my route ended up taking my back into town.
Then I decided I needed to get the extra 2 hours in, so headed East. Nice ride out as the wind was to my back, but circling around to head back the winds really hampered my pace. I made it, but was pretty exhausted.
