Warmer weather yes!!!! Riding with Terry, the guy who got me to sign up for the MS-150. And yes, riding with the new cycling shoes! So that takes care of the 2 things i learned from the last ride.
-
Quite a bit of people here for this ride. All the nice lane closures made for a fun drive to Katy Mills. So with minimal time to get signed in and ready we made a stop at the 1st of 5 rest area. (about 10-12 miles in). Then after a brief sprint out of that stop, we came to the hard right (west) into the wind that eventually lead back north into a greater head wind. The not being around freezing was a nice change. The road with more inclines was quite challenging.

Onto the 3rd rest stop. Refresh time. Grabbed some snack, fill the water bottle and made the other pit stop. Stretched a bit then back on the road north for a bit, then another right (east) on 90. This was a familiar section. With a tiny headwind and a straight away for quite a few miles, I started to get flashbacks of when I was on this road during ride #2 in the freezing cold. But having the shoes and another person to push you makes a huge difference.
We ended making a left onto the service road along 45 going east towards Katy Mills just like in ride #2. So this made the last bit seam very possible. Terry and I ended the day riding 45.5 miles in 3 hrs 9 min at an average speed of 14.9. Oh yeah did i mention I love the cycling shoes.
