I knew the return ride from Huffman would face a headwind but I didn&#8217;t know the wind would increase from the NW to 17 mph with 23 mph gusts. Before I finished at 4:17 PM I thought my legs were just tired from the ride and not eating much but when I saw how strong the wind became I gave my legs credit for powering me home, bonk or not.

I wore a new pair of Bellwether Endurance Gel Shorts (and retired a pair I first used 9\/23\/2018) and a short sleeve jersey to enjoy the cool wind and sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/3469021999\/embed\/4ff30b7025fb2bf7e00d178d6cdf996fa7f210d9'><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/25282884\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"653\" data-attachment-id=\"53054\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-17-2020-sporttracks-bike-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=1913%2C1041&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1913,1041\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"5-17-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-17-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=600%2C327&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?fit=800%2C435&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1200%2C653&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-17-2020 SportTracks Bike Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-53054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?w=1913&amp;ssl=1 1913w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=600%2C327&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=800%2C435&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=640%2C348&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5-17-2020-SportTracks-Bike-Ride-Summary.jpg?resize=1536%2C836&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made it but not by very many miles.
