Still warm enough to ride early in the morning. Left the house at 7 am with a weather forecast of cloudy in the 50s. Rain was not due till later in the day. I planned on a 40 mile ride. Don't believe what the weather man says. The ride out was brutal. Wind between 10 and 15 mph right in my face. Also halfway out the rain started. I have promised Rene that I would not bike in the rain, so I cut the ride shorter than I would have liked. Wound up riding 23 miles in 1 1/2 hours. Really amazing. While going into the wind, my heart rate only reached 128 bpm. I am getting into good shape and can go hard without going anaerobic. Will get in a good long ride over the weekend. Want to try and do a real long ride at least once during November and then start to do several a month thru February.
