Saturday’s ride was the annual loop around Camano Island. It was a really foggy day and visibility was pretty low for most of the ride. Riders up ahead of me would disappear pretty quickly into the fog and cars would appear out of nowhere. Thankfully the roads are pretty low traffic and the ride went well.
It wasn’t quite as cold at the start as in previous year’s (though I had remembered mittens this year so that made quite a difference for my hands, compared to fingerless gloves).
My legs felt a bit better for this ride so I think commuting a couple of days last week had helped them a bit. My pace seemed much the same as previous years so hopefully on track to build on that this year to get faster by the summer.
As a side note, I nearly brought along my single speed for the ride but was glad enough to have the lower gears on my regular rando bike as the ride was hillier than I remembered. Got over 40 mph on one of the downhills without speed wobble setting in (focussing on keeping my arms relaxed).
