Windy road ride this morning.
20 mile road ride this morning in the wind. Started at my house over by Garden of the Gods, rode up Filmore East to Centennial. Took a left on Centennial and down to Garden of the Gods Rd. Continued on Centennial all the way out to where it turns into Woodmen. It was windy on Centennial. Had a head wind for a few miles there. Once I was on Woodmen, I took it down to a road called Orchard Valley Rd. Orchard Valley is a steep climb that brings you back up to Centennial at about the point that it turns into Woodmen. I then turned south on Centennial and took it to Flying W Ranch Rd. Made a right on Flying W Ranch and climbed up and over down to 30th st. I took 30th St. south to Mesa Rd. Climbed up Mesa and back over to Filmore. Down Filmore and back to my neighborhood.
It was a great ride despite the wind. 20 miles in 1 hour 20 min. Average pace of 15 miles per hour.

I ride something very similar to this as one of my standard rides. I, too, will be heading out east all lot more as I get ready for Kansas. I started yesterday and rode out near the airport and that was windy!

This is my standard ride. I'm not very good at climbing but I do enjoy it and this ride has it's fair share to offer. I've got another ride where I head south and end up either at the zoo or Cheyenne Canyon and then my other standard is the Air Force Academy. I also want to do some rides out East for some long flat miles.
Christi, that's a real nice area. I love riding over there.

I did the ride from centennial at Garden of the Gods up Woodmen and back on Orchard Valley Road. It was a great ride and I'm looking forward to doing it every week! Thanks for posting this.
