| Comments: CZ Day3. Started ride with John from Abita Springs on a Ti longwheel base bike. Rode at John's pace from start to LA-31, very easy pace, nice ride (20 miles). Then left LA-31 on shitty pavement into shitty headwind. Fucking miserable ride on 2nd half. How can the return leg be that much longer than the out leg? Most miserable ride in years!

| Comments: Tammany Trace from Slidell on a less brutal morning...amazing how a dew point of 68F is SO much better than 75F! Cad:77, Vert:200, ATemp:73F Would have been fastest ride but Garmin lost 1.1 mph sitting in bathroom, 0.3 mph at an intersection, 0.2 mph due to work crews. Held 20mph for several mile stretches on return leg. |

Wasn't too fast, but felt fairly decent. Felt like I could have gone further but later was glad I didn't. Knees got sore after the ride. 1600' vertical, felt like a lot more! |
