WINDY BIKE RIDE ON A WARM WINTER DAY

Hooray for me, I set a new PR on one of Strava’s segments, Sewer Pipe Road. See, with help from a strong ocean wind, even I can accomplish magnificent feats.

I met up with Steve, Greg and Sandy S at the Meet-up spot and away we went, heading west towards Weston and the coffee shop.

The ride to the coffee shop was pretty much routine and uneventful. We never did spot any voluptuous cycling recruits, something the boys talked about prior to hitting the lanes. Shame on them!

We took a different route back to the car park, which in my opinion makes the ride back somewhat interesting and motivating. The strong easterly wind, however, was not motivating. It was brutal! Steve did a remarkable job pulling us into the wind at 17 mph along wind-swept State Road 84.

We made a quick stop at one of our local bike shops. Sandy had a question to ask the mechanic, plus we wanted to look at the large assortment of rear flashing lights. We never did buy anything!

It was another warm winter day in the sub-tropics of South Florida, USA. Average temp: 80F
