Saturday was a miserable cold and rainy day, and today wasn't a whole lot better. I took advantage of a brief spot of sun in the afternoon to get a short ride in, but it was awfully windy with dark clouds on the horizon, so I just rode around on local streets, so as not to end up five miles from home in a thunderstorm.
Total Distance: 5.39 miles
Average Speed: 13.4 mph
Maximum Speed: 27.56
Year-to-date totals:
Total Distance: 86.5 miles
Maximum Speed: 32.0 mph
Better luck next weekend, I guess...
