We left at 9 with no wind. That ended at about 9:15. It was like someone flipped the switch in the wind tunnel. We got out past Wayzata where there is little cover and we had a consistent onslaught of 20mph wind in the face.
Hanover (40 miles) was the turn that got the wind at our backs. Heaven.
We were in Delano eating HoHos and Cheesy Crackers in no time.
Wide shoulders, smooth roads and no hills to speak of. Just sweet.
There wasn't a cloud in the sky. The departure temp was 49. Got home to a temp of 62. Amy was dressed like this. I had on knickers, hat, long-sleeved jersey and a vest. I gotta ttfu.
I got in 82/19.1. Amy got in 92/19.5. I gotta ttfu.
Homemade pizza tonight. First I made the sauce.
2 plum tomatoes, a little red bell pepper, some onion, garlic and basil, just a touch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar, with a couple of tablespoons of red wine. Cook at 475 degrees while the oven and pizza stone are heating up. At least a half hour.
Puree in blender
Dough has risen for about 45 minutes.
Stretch out and place on peel.
Add sauce
Cheese
Prosciutto
More red bell peppers
Off the peel and on to the hot stone.
Oh Yeah! Me, beer, pizza, TV all after a fantastic 80 miles in the saddle.
Life is very good!

I started out dressed like you, and ended up dressed like Amy. After long rides I enjoy a feeding frenzy and that pizza LQQKs scrumpdeliciousity.
Not only are you a photographer, looks like your a Chef. Young people don't need as many clothes as old folks, better blood flow. Glad your having such nice weather.
Amy is quite the trooper. I started out fully dressed on Saturday morn since the temp was near 32 degrees. Slowly shed the layers as the day wore on....60 miles for us.
That pizza looks great.
