A very warm, humid and windy morning today. Typically I would not have enjoyed riding today, but being I've been forced off the bike since the long weekend with all the usual time and sleep interruptions as well as a couple of days of sinus problems. And my original intent was to ride north up to the Lake, but with such a strong and gusty south wind, I scrapped that idea. It's way to open on the north end and the return would have been a real struggle. Thus I opted for this shorter and more sheltered route. Apparently that didn't help though. Slow, but fun. Well, other than my rear tire was going soft about 10 miles in. I stopped and inflated it (love the CO2!) before continuing in. Fortunately it's was either a stem leak or a very small, slow hole I can find later. Regardless, it beats doing a tire change out on the road. More moderate weather will be arriving with hurricane rain remnents in the coming days. |
