Rainy Walton County Loop
It was a 10:30 AM start in the fog, mist and light rain. The temperature was about 50 degrees but the wind chill and humidity made it feel like low 40's. I met Doug and we headed East into the wind. About an hour into the ride I noticed my computer was not receiving data from the wheel, so I stopped for a sec to see if I could fix it, but no luck, it's probably a dead battery in the transmitter.
There is 10-15 minute surge in my heartrate while I chased hard to bridge back up to Doug after stopping to put on my rain cape. His "breakaway visualization" or "attack" or whatever it was, cost him too much energy because when I got back up to him he dropped to his smallest gear and couldn't even ride tempo anymore. I continued on solo.
A Total of about 58 miles three hours and 16 minutes later I rolled back into my driveway wet and cold but feeling alright.
