Windy AF
It took me 90 minutes to get to Starbucks in Zephyrhills. (15.84 miles) There is construction along US301 and the little should that it there is gone for a future turn lane. It was not fun. 
Vanilla Crème but with Irish Cream instead of vanilla. 
The drink was OK but a little less creamy than I would have liked. 
The ride back was fast. The tailwind was great. I rode SR54 to MPB. There is a narrow shoulder during construction. 
31.04 miles

Windy. Not as bad as yesterday but it is still too much. Decided to ride a shorter route today. (I have extra days off coming up and will ride more then.)
I went to BBD to SR54. I know why I don't like riding up this way on the MUP, drivers pulling up to BBD do no look my way and block the path. 
Starbucks for Vanilla Crème with Sugar Cookie Syrup and Holiday Sprinkles. 
Took the lid off and could smell the sugar cookie. But the whip was all melted so they didn't add the extra I requested. 
Yes it tastes like a sugar cookie. But I miss the crunch of the cookie. 
I rode SR54 to FoxWood to Chancey to MPB. I wanted to avoid MPB as much as possible. North of SR56, it is busy and in need of replacing. I rode along the MUP but found it was even worse!
Around mile 16, my legs were done. I was glad I didn't do another long route. 
18.42 miles 

This week 113 miles 
This year 5,293 miles
