Doug and I had planned to do 3 hours in the hills of southern Indiana today, but the temps were just too cold for climbing at 7am. The temps were 22 and the windchill was 14. We opted instead to wait until noon and do a 3-4 hour ride in the 25mph winds after the temps had warmed up about 10 degrees. It was still a cold ass day and though I was dressed well, I think I was a bit overdressed because I felt wet about halfway into the ride.

We headed north directly into the wind for 20 mile and then headed west and south with cross winds before we headed east with a tail wind. We ended up do a big loop around NW Hamilton county and then headed back to Dougs where I turned around an headed back into the wind to get home.

All in all, it felt like I had climbed mountains all day, so I didn't really miss Mooresville. We'll try again in a couple of weeks.

Side note: I did a "big gear" sprint today and went over 1000 watts for the first time since using a power meter.
