Wind Blown to Golden City

On Sunday, Dan and I rode the Route 66 & Cooky's Pie 205K permanent to Golden City. We left at 6:30, hoping to get back before dark. It was a nice, but cool, ride out with clear skies and a strong south southeast wind (20+ mph, gusting to 30+). The most excitement was when we watched three deer race across a field and the road in front of us.The wind shifted slightly to the south heading back, so it was mainly a problem on the south legs when we were only able to pedal 7 to 8 miles per hour. We did not make it back until 18:50 and were worn out.
