Dave, Jim, and I rode the path. The way there we started at a decent clip, probably averaged 17mph, until we hit a steady headwind. My average for the first half was a respectable 15.6mph. On the return trip I felt good for about a mile, but then fatigue started in. I was by myself for about 3 miles, then Dave let me catch up to him and let me draft for the rest of the way. I ended up averaging 15.2mph. So I'm happy with that. I think the headwind got to me mentally. I hate wind in general, and it's just a pain in the butt on a bike. I think had I been more focused mentally, I could have kept up with Dave (but not with Slim Jim).
