Route:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12935391  

Weather:  started with a temp of 50 degrees and ended at 60; wind 12-20 mph with 25 mph gusts 

AMS: Leader (sweep) 14.5 mph

Mechanicals/Mishaps: None  :) 

Report: Thanks to everyone who came out to ride today.  Great group of A riders.  We rode most of the time in two groups.  A couple of riders switched to either the faster AA group or the slower B group.  That is one of the advantages of an All Class ride.  The first 20 miles were very enjoyable as the temperature increased.  After the first rest stop at Goose Bay, the wind picked up and speeds decreased.  With gusts of 25 mph, we worked hard just to keep going.  The wind seemed to come at us from every direction.  Some of us remarked how worn out we were at the end - felt more like a century ride than 46 miles.   Thanks for Jim Hudnall for greeting us as every rest stop and taking pictures.
