I was really considering riding this afternoon by banking on the typical warming that takes place. But the 21 mph NW wind (gusts to 28 mph) put a chill on the plan. After yesterday’s balmy 76 degrees today’s 54 and clear skies could not overcome the strong wind. Now my 60 degree lower limit will continue to mid-week when the temperature is supposed to get into the lower 70’s during the daytime.

In place of riding I watched the finish of the USA Cycling National Championship Elite Women’s Cyclocross race. Later at 4:20 PM CST I will watch some of the men’s competition. The course was somewhat muddy but not extremely so like they are in Europe. The race was streamed on the USAcyclying.org website and Versus website (relay of the USAcycling.org stream).
