Ride in the afternoon from church with Joe. I had gotten rained out of a ride on Saturday morning, so the opportunity to ride on Sunday afternoon was great. The weather cooperated as well, although we rode into a headwind coming out of the northwest. Started out on the same route as the last time we had ridden together, heading up to BVP via Grand Ave then over to E Valley Pkwy. Got onto El Norte Pkwy, and here is where we were riding into the wind for awhile. Over to Broadway, then out to Jesmond Dene Rd. I felt pretty good on this section, keeping up a decent pace and finishing with a reasonably strong kick. Joe hadn't been riding much, so we cut the pace back somewhat. Rode up to Deer Springs Rd and took the loop back to Centre City Pkwy, then back into town. We had some time, so we stayed on Centre City Pkwy to Felicita Rd, then over to Juniper Rd. Back to church the usual way from here. On the latter part of the ride, after we got into town, we slowed the pace down.
Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 21.7 mi
