Walk/run 8.5 km on the 11th and rode 52.33 km on the 12th. I covered that distance in 2:31:39 with an average speed of 21 KPH in an ESE wind of between 19 and 28 KPH.
I had a little problem in that I noticed my rear wheel rubbing against the frame in a big [...]

I had a great plan to defeat the wind this time around. All I had to do was to ride north then west in the morning then by the time the wind picked up I would have smooth sailing with the wind at my back. So I planned on heading north on HWY [...]
