20 miles at 13.6 average speed with Gina today. I need a new weather site because mine has sucked the last couple of days. I looked up the wind in Anaheim and it said 7 MPH. I can do a 30 miler but then last minute something came up so we had to be home early. Then drove into Anaheim and the trees are dancing! :-O
So figuring it would be real tough doing the planned 30, I figured we would do something different. We headed inland to Yorba first fighting the headwind. Then we would enjoy the tailwind back. It worked but the ride out was tough. The first 10 miles was at 11.5 average speed and passing other riders ha ha ha! But once we hit our just about 10 mile point, Gina was bushed. I had to slow several times about 1.5 miles before we hit our turn around.
But it was like continuing on from yesterday's super windy 72. Doing about the same speed of 13, till Gina had to slow down. I offered to go further but Gina refused the kind gesture ha ha ha! So we enjoyed the tailwind back. Pretty sure Gina was happy when it was over. Actually when we turned away from the wind as we didn't even really have to pedal on the return.
Gina's "WTH are we getting into?" look. Well, if you could see her face!
