PM: 3 hours 33' (56 miles @ 15.8 MPH). 185W. HR 125.
I thought it was supposed to be raining all day, but it cleared off and the sun came out a bit, though it was extremely windy (40 MPH gusts), but given that I figured the roads would be decently dry and it was in the 60s I was going to just deal with it. The wind was quite obnoxious at times and pulled my front wheel a few times, which was a bit scary.
Roads were generally good. Slow and chunky in places. Some real rutted out sections of low-lying areas where there is water on both sides of the road, but overall quite good for mid-March. Power was okay, though speed was lower than I would have liked, but wind and a somewhat hilly route will do that. Glad to bank a little time on a planned 3 hour ride.
