Total Distance: 5.39 miles
Average Speed: 13.4 mph
Maximum Speed: 27.56
Year-to-date totals:
Total Distance: 86.5 miles
Maximum Speed: 32.0 mph

I got caught in a massive thunderstorm about 3 miles from home a couple of years ago. I was so wet after the first few minutes, that it did not matter how log it took to get home. I could not get any wetter.
Saturday, the weather was clear, cool, and windy here in Maryland. Other than the wind it was perfect cycling weather.
