30.8 miles north of Montague, hilly and windy.

The chipseal on Lamos road is now rideable. W00t! I can get to the lakeshore without cutting 8-10 miles off of a route.

A strong north wind made the outbound leg hard work; it wasn't helped by the hills on Lehman road. Turning for home, though, was a revelation. There's nothing quite as nice as a strong tailwind after working hard for 15 miles!

Tomorrow I ride with the Herman Miller Tuesday group. They have something of a reputation for animalistic, mid-to-upper-20's pacelines. I hope I don't get too brutally dropped...
