47th outdoor ride of 2021 - Monday, 6/27/2022

2022 mileage: 2919.0

Today is a beautiful day for riding, and I set off at 12:20 under 72° sunshine. EXCEPT ... I'm tempted to say (playfully) that I enjoyed a healthy wind today. But wind is the bane of cyclists, and there was nothing whatsoever enjoyable about battling that 15 mph wind out of the northwest.

I had been hoping to do my 20-mile ride to Baker Rd.; but between the wind and a grinding noise in my chain that has me planning to take it to the dealer tomorrow, I scaled those plans back considerably, riding a loop on Pauline Blvd., a route that took me significantly less than half of what I had planned ... 7.5 miles, in 59 minutes.
