28-Jan-2013 : First wetsuited cycle of 2013!

Well pleased with myself. At first I was not going to do any cycling at all today, due to strong winds. When I checked the wind speed before setting up is was showing wind speeds of 60 mph. But since my miles so far this month has been very, very low. Due to having about 2 week of no cycling due to snow and ice. I made up my mind, to hell if it and went out! I ended up doing the longish cycle of the year so far. I did 28.94 miles, but my avg speed was a bit on the slow side, to the very strong head winds.

It also happens to be my first wetsuited cycle of the year!! The wind was so cold, I so glad I had it on!

I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.
