Coldest start this morning. Temperature was in the low 40s after last night's storms rolled through. However, it didn't take me too long to warm up. I stayed on Highway 1 for almost the entire day and ride was filled with Virginia's rolling hills. The hills were not big by any means, but pulling the 60+ pounds of gear uphill is not an easy task. I tried to use momentum from the many downhills to gain on some of the uphills, but it didn't always work out.
Nice riding day overall. The hills were not as challenging as they could have been. I was blessed with a 10-20mph wind from the WSW, which meant a tailwind for much of the ride. Tailwinds are always welcome!
Tomorrow is looking like another decent day for riding a bicycle. 🚴🚴
