Today I headed out to Flatwoods to get some miles in but took the bike trailer and Ana's bike so they could meet me up later in the morning. I got in just shy of 22 miles by myself, and then another 15 while towing Alana behind me. It was a stellar day and getting out before the wind picked up was a Godsend. The freaky part was the temperature variations around the loop. In some sections it was around 55F, in others about 70. Normally you can tell the swing a little but this shift was so great that my glasses and the bike computer fogged up for a minute or two. I have succeeded in raising my average 20 mile speed by almost 3 miles per hour since I got the new bike.
Amazingly, I really couldnt feel Alana behind me until I caught the windy side of the loop. Ana learned about drafting today and enjoyed riding at a faster pace behind Alana and I.
