Notes
Cyclocross ride by myself. I went south on the trail so I could have the wind behind me on the way back. After I made it to Ely I headed East out of town and rode some gravel roads about 4 miles out before turning around to head back. I came back quite a bit faster and by the time I got back to Cedar Rapids I decided I felt like adding on so I headed to the Sac and Fox trail. Shortly after I got there (35 miles) the sun went behind clouds and the rest of the ride got pretty cold. This also led to me feeling more tired than I realized due to going into the wind again. I figured it would probably be shorter to just go around at this point though. Well after a couple more miles on the trail I hit a section that was completely submerged. I probably could have made through it I accepted getting wet but I was already cold and figured there would be more submerged sections anyway. So I turned around and decided to find the shortest way home. I ended up with a pretty solid ride and that good tired feeling when I got off the bike. This is probably my longest ride on my cyclocross bike.
