Starting the "Training Logs" again after a hiatus caused by my knee injury. I have some big rides coming up, these training logs really help me.
This week consisted of 54 miles commuting to work. Temps were above average for all my my work commutes so nothing new in the ride temp clothing list.
I also had a 50 miles bike ride from home around Heritage lake and back. The ride was in the low 30s along with 20mph head winds with sleet for 25 miles. I was rewarded with 20 mph tailwinds, which was beautifully fast. This ride only has 1600 feet of climbing, but runs along farmland, which can create a lot of difficult headwinds and crosswinds.
