Windy Ride Home

Things cooled off quickly on the ride home. 20 mph winds will do that. I am sheltered from the wind for most of my ride home, which is through side streets with plenty of trees around.

The most exposed part of the ride is west on 27th street. I hit it after Naismith Valley Park and it is really just a steady climb all the way to Holcom Park on the other side of Iowa. The slope is gentle enough, but it is fairly open to the westerly wind we had.

I'm liking the fleece balaclava I got for Christmas. A lot.
