Sometimes it's good to change your mind!

I wanted to get out before the heat set in today, but was just a little apprehensive regarding the wind.  Wind was in the forecast, but when I went outside, it just didn't seem that bad?  Not sure of where I wanted to ride, but wanted to get in at least 30 miles, I headed for the Interurban Rd. at the last minute, due to it being close.

It didn't seem quite so hot and there was a slight breeze making it very comfortable.  Since the Interurban Rd. can be quite boring at times, I decided to pass the time by identifying birds, but the only one I recognized was the one a guy gave me from his car.  I think he was a Redheaded, barrel chested, tally whacker!

At any rate, I decided to cut the ride to 24 miles for some reason.  I think I was just tired from not getting enough sleep last night.  I'm sure glad I did!  When I headed back, it was right into the wind and it was brutal!  I usually don't mind working into the wind, but this was a strong cross wind that make it just a little scary when cars passed.

Ended up with 24 miles at 12.4 mph topping out at 24.3 mph, obviously downhill.

Setting on 104 miles for the week so far.
