Tuesday I rode the CCM 3spd 56 miles on another triangle route. Seemed like mostly into the wind again. Midway there's my hill speed drag strip, wizzed it up to 37.2 mph. My SA 5w does 45 there.
Thursday was going to be the only good day for a week, so I took my Rohloff14 80 lb tour heavyweight for a muscle builder ride. 110.6 miles mostly with a stiff cross wind. First half avg 14.3 with right side wind. Second half was a struggle, especially mile 93 to 100 into the wind. Took over an hour with many stops. Lost 6 lbs of sweat, but didn't have the usual cramps. 9Hr22 moving, avg 11.8, 13.5 hr total. I saw a race team truck and 2 guys riding. Temperature was perfect 18C. Leaving on tour soon.
