Fairly windy? A little rough? Understatements of the year perhaps? (it's early in 2013) :)
The rollers to the Marshall store didn't end up being rollers as we had to pedal to keep moving on the flat sections. No momentum was carried at all from the downhills. I was crawling in my granny on 4% grades. Of course, the same stretch going away from the Marshall store was a joy as I felt like Cancellara. Still, if I didn't have to face headwinds for the rest of the year, that's alright with me. The clear weather more than made up for the pain with the fantastic view at the Lighthouse though.
