4/17/11 Ride Recap

The wind was even more fierce than we expected it to be, while due to a bright sun being out, the wind chill was not nearly as uncomfortable as we feared it might be. Weather.com's forecast that the wind would be 20 mph out of the WNW seemed to be on target. We did a Panera to Panera ride which is mostly north-south, so it was a crosswind for much of the ride. On the way back from Panera Bread in Lake Bluff heading east, no one pushed on a pedal during the 150 yards to the bike path. The wind was at our backs, and we  coasted all the way to the bike path as the wind blew us east at a surprisingly fast pace.

While we were at Panera for the mid ride stop, we decided that we should give Hugo lessons on how to strip off apparel when overdressed if the weather warms up during a ride. We had one of the longest stops in history for a clothing adjustment.
