to Buescher State Park 12 March

  Weather was crazy.  Started out in the mid 50's and I had a fair bit of cold weather clothing on. Even at noon it didn't seem like it would ever get nice.  I had food duty and had to do the food shopping.  We picked up a fourth rider who has occasionally ridden with my group.  The route has been getting hillier here in central Texas.

We had a fair bit of head and cross winds again, sometimes strong. The roads were lightly traveled in general. Most enjoyed the ride today.

I stayed with the group until Winchester, where they stopped for ice cream and drinks.  Then I went on and got in a bit ahead of them to get some things done.

People with weather apps starting mentioning rain  coming soon, but it was hard to believe.  Then it came down hard for a bit.

With the wind and the hills, a couple of riders got in much later and barely got organized before the rain.

Today's ride: 68 miles (109 km)
Total: 1,425 miles (2,293 km)
