Not a bad week. The wind was OK until Saturday and Sunday. I almost stayed home on Sunday but then I didn’t want to give up my streak since September 1.

Monday
66° humidity 57% wind 6-7 NW
I went out to Seven Oaks. I was going at an easy pace until Mystic Oak then I thought I might try to break my record for that segment. (I missed it by 6 seconds) The rest of the ride was fast because of the tailwinds. 15.50 miles
12.4 mph

I went out to Seven Oaks. I didn't push it.
I noticed the wind changed when I was on Chancey. There was no tailwind.
I rode to Panera to get my free bakery item for my #birthdaymonth I got a cinnamon scone. They have changed the recipe and it isn't quite as good. Still tasty. Wind 8-9 N

I didn't want to ride at all. It was too cold and blah. The sun was out but didn't seem to help.
Windsor gates were open so I rode through there.
Every time the sun was behind the trees or a building, my eyes were happy but the rest of me got colder.
