Today we had a very windy ride, as we had earlier this week. This time the wind was coming from the opposite direction and I was ready to walk up a hill just 3 miles into the ride! I guess I usually count on help getting up that hill.

The ride home was much easier than usual, however. :)

We did 17 miles--temp was around 50 (we went at 1 pm instead of 8 am). It took a little over 1.5 hours, but we stopped to unhook clothes that were getting caught, answer texts, blow noses and take pictures.

The last mile and a half of my ride usually goes through a cemetery. This cemetery flies flags on certain holidays. They are very impressive.

Thanks to all veterans and servicepeople.
