My legs were really sore at the start of the ride (when aren't they lately?), but I did fine on the ride. It was incredibly windy in parts, which made it a brutal ride in the exposed sections. There were times when I was going a lot slower than I would have liked just to avoid getting blown off the bike.

At one point I rode through an insane cloud of bees. There is an organic honey farm on my route, but I had never seen bees there. This time though, there was a National Geographic Special type cloud of bees that I rode into before I noticed. I did my best Tom Boonen impression and sprinted out of them before I got stung though. :)

All in all a good ride.
