Both days 40/40. Not so many miles. Colds and wet. The body was hammered on Saturdays 40. It was so hard. The temperature never got over 48 degrees. 90% humidity with a bit of wind. Just 20 MPH on the face. On the everything else to. The body had a real hard time warming up. The first hour just getting warm. The last 2 staying warm. I have done these 40s faster. Never much harder. It was a dirty mess on Saturday after the ride. The Fender went on for the Sunday ride. That helped, a lot. Both days the same set of roads. Sunday was dryer and went better than Saturday. Also the fender did it's job and the bike and I were a lot cleaner. Still worm parts and parts of slugs to clean off the bike. A lot less on Sunday. Both days had fast moments and slow in the wind pain. Hard to make the bike go in 20 to 35 MPH in your face on the last 10 miles. Just go the best you can. Few others out. No worry about getting passed these days. The climbs were hard though fun. Just get in the gear you want to work and put your head down. Look up once and a while to see the road a head. The horses of one climb did not even look my way. Just eating to stay warm. That's what my ride and gear does for me. Movement and never stop. Well a stop once and a while but rarely. Keep moving. Today is a recover day. It's blowing in the 40s. The water out the window is boiling on the bay and sound. Just steady all night as it is this AM. Glad to be doing some cleaning today. Got a nice St. Patrick's day dinner to make. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
