Colder than I expected. Wearing my SheBeest Pedal Pushers. Not as comfy as MFF. At least they are longer. Two loops. Pushing it as I just felt colder the longer I rode.

Windy!
I didn't want to be out. Maybe I jinxed myself because I was cruising along MPB and caught the edge of the pavement. My tire blew and I thought I was going down. But I managed to stay upright and stopped. I got off the road and changed my tire. My leg was shaking from the adrenaline. The tire went on easily but ai couldn't get much pressure in. I rode home carefully then pumped up my tire properly.

I am riding in the wind. It isn't fun. I stopped at Largo. Starting again and my sweaty arms were cold. I thought wool was supposed to keep me warm?
Lost 5 miles on my Apple Watch because I forgot to hit resume. I might just let it go. Screw the average speed.
Construction around the overpasses so no option to go over them or around the barriers. I went around the barriers. After climbing 3, I was done.

Got to Dunedin but only at 24 miles. I rode to Honeymoon Island. The wind across the causeway was brutal.
Surprised I am not hungry. But I ate a mini cliff bar at each stop.
Trying to charge my iPhone. I think I need a new cord.
The ride back in a better with wind behind me. My legs are getting tired.
I may be done with this a trail. Too many stops and crossings.
When I parked in this lot this morning, I was the only car here. I come back to some big party and two bouncy castles. I rode the long way back so I would have to ask the 3 very large men to move so I could cross the boardwalk.
So glad to be done. I don't think I will ride this trail next year. I don't like all the street crossings. And the drive here and home is long. There were no restrooms where I parked and had to ride home in clammy clothes.

I had to work and was also waiting for it to get as warm as it would.
The first half was fine then I turned onto SR56 and the wind and cold hit me. The weather app said NE winds but it did not feel that way. I got cold and colder as I rode home.
