Yesterday, I rode the Ride Deaf Challenge metric century. It was very chilly at the start. Not just the temperature, but the wind. Also, it didn't help that for 15 of the first 20 miles, I had a very full bladder which made climbing torture. Temp 50-68°F (didn't reach 60°F until last 8 miles), strong wind from NW
(meaning headwind for first 36 miles), max grade 5.7%, 1323 ft of
climbing, HRM zones 3-5 2:56. 64.93mi (104.49 km) in 4:19:16, avg speed
15.03mph (24.19 km/h), max speed 28.5 mph (45.9 km/h).
