Pretty warm (upper 80s), good mid-morning to early afternoon ride. Went the other way and climbed Rt. 343 west from 22 for the first time (I think), a cat 3 climb and not as bad as it looks like it would be on the way down the same route (as usual).

5/30/15, 2 Hudson bridges, 80.4mi, 1c3, 1c4, 3c5, C683, 27.3% **

New post-1991 distance record. Long and hot ride, with headwinds when going south and not much by way of food-break choices on the 44/55/32 (Highland to Newburgh) stretch, but still good. Not a terrible slice 40-something miles in at Fat Mike's somewhere between Modena and Plattekill.

Somehow MMR missed the last 2.3 miles so didn't credit me for the climb up Harmony Hill, nor for those miles, but I manually added them. Perfect riding weather, beautiful spring day. Probably my fastest average speed ever, 15.4, but that doesn't include the final climb.

Cold (~30F) New Year's Day ride. Set 2015 goal for 2500 miles. Feet and head a bit colder than I would've liked, the rest of me was fine. Need the foot covers next time. Probably should have a helmet cover too, the balaclava alone doesn't really do it when it's this cold.
