Yesterday was a combination rest day and “let it warm up some” day. It was good to be back on the road today. The skies cleared this afternoon and the temperature made it to 74 degrees. Wind was not a factor being only 4 mph from the north. Around the 18 mile mark I was passed by lean and mean bikers hammering on their way back home. I was able to stay near them for about 200 yards up a slight hill. From then on they disappeared in the distance. Great ride home from there. Glad I wore two jerseys though as the sun went down.
