Back to normal April weather. Colder and a slight headwind. Happy for gloves, buff and my soft shell jacket.

Quick walk. Had a leaky poop bag, got some on my hands. Tried to wipe it off on a dried out shrubbery and poked a thorn in my thumb which started bleeding and got more dog do on my fanny pack. Met Jamie on near the pedestrian bridge and chatted for a while. From then on, everything went fine.

Decent ride, giving myself an E for effort. There was a decent amount of wind, not a tailwind. And there was a challenger to hold off. He didn't have a chance. I am always impressed with how courteous drivers are letting cyclists coming from Cedar Lake Trail cross River Road. It's rather rare that people don't stop.
