All I can say is the wind was out today, but at least it was a steady wind. No major gusting. Wind speed was between 10-15 mph from the northeast. We did the Katy Ram Challenge. The ride started at 8:00. We got there at 7:00 to get ready for the ride marshal meeting. We let most of the crowd go before heading out. I was going to ride with Sheldon, but they fell behind me at the start. I figured that I would jump on when they came by. That never happened. I did have a couple occasions where I was able to ride with other groups but most of the ride was solo. I stopped twice in the 73 miles. I finished with an overall average of 18.5. Not to bad considering the head wind and cross wind that was on the route.
The best part of the ride was in the last 10 miles. I got passed by a double pace line. I figured I would jump on the back. Well they started varying the speed and were going to slow to keep it together. I jumped out and passed them. It took them 2 miles to catch me. Which was pretty good since they had about 15 people working. I got in the back again, then on the outskirts of Katy, two guys jumped, I went with them. Those two guys gave up, but I kept going. The main group never caught me, but a small two person chase did after another 2 mile run.
Still loving the Tubeless tires.
