This week started out pretty good. Then we got rain on Friday and Saturday and my motivation was gone. I still rode every day but not much on the weekend.

Monday
59° humidity 64% wind 11-16 NW
I went out Mansfield to WRB to Chancey then up to Village Market and back down through Seven Oaks.
The lights were long and I got stuck at BBD because someone tampered with the crosswalk signs and I hit the wrong one.
Stopped at the bank to deposit a check. Stopped at Starbucks for some pumpkin loaf. Disappointed because the loaf is not quite as moist and was packaged. And the date on the package was October!

I wore my tights and the wind was a little weaker. I rode the same path as yesterday but reversed. It went better. Some stomach pains.

Wednesday
65° humidity 52% wind 2-6 SE
Happy to see the wind back to normal strength and direction. I did my usual route to Union Park and back. The sky was beautiful.

Late ride. Emotional day.
Wind wasn't as strong as reported.
I rode out to Union Park. Dark on my way home.

Friday
69° humidity 100% wind 9-16 W
Short ride in between showers.
I went west based on the reported wind. It didn't feel strong. I could feel it more when riding home and my legs wanted to quit.

12.7 mph

Saturday
66° humidity 88% wind 2SE
It was late and I didn't even change my clothes. I ended up at Starbucks and had a sandwich for dinner. Then I rode back in the dark. I hate the gnats.
7.61 miles

Sunday
62° humidity 73% wind 1-3 W
Another late ride. This is what happens if I get dressed and go out. I put off my exercise. I changed because I though it was still warm. It wasn't and the cool breeze was chilly on my bare arms. I never got warm.
