After yesterday’s ride today was really dedicated to recovery. While I went fast I did not set out to have a fast ride. Mostly the speed came from the 14 mph SE wind being a tailwind at times. The temperature was having trouble getting into the 70’s when I left home so I wore a long sleeve and short sleeve jersey for warmth. When I got home the temperature finally made it to 82 degrees. Overcast clouds kept the sun to a minimum. I was down on the ranch on this ride when I went through the Valley Ranch subdivision in Porter. No other riders spotted today. They are probably over at their mother’s celebrating Mother’s Day. We will leaving shortly to do the same thing.
