Set out for a nice 50 mile ride. About a half hour in, clouds moved in and gave me some nice shade. Shortly after that, **** got windy and some not amused clouds rolled in from the west and north (I was heading west at the time). Yeah, that was my cue to cut it short and head back. Got home before the rain and 30 miles was better than nuthin'.

New 90’ HR record (156bpm) and 25’ total above 300w. And chased down and mercilessly dropped the Felt IA with 404s that got me at point.
Now excuse me while I go pass out.

I had thought I had calmed down some in my old age. But it's clear that I've become re-radicalized. I will attempt to keep it to myself. Here, guns are for the law and the cartels.
