June 6th ride

Went for a little ride after work. The wind was blowing from the East. Excellent ride with a great average speed. The average dropped by .2 mph when I hit three red lights in a row as I hit downtown.
One of the highlights of this loop are the rolling hills a couple of miles before Lake Santee.
I've uploaded a video of the red lights and the rolling hills below:

June 3rd ride, first of the month

Great morning for a ride, there was some constant wind from the West. Half way through the ride I had an average speed of 20.9, I think I could have hit 21 if it wasn't for the slow traffic around Lake Santee.

First there was a truck only going at 17 mph and driving left of center, I was behind him for 5 minutes before I could get around him. Then there was the golf cart that took a while to get around. I don't have any problem with the golf carts, Lake Santee is a golf cart community and you expect them, but I wasn't sure what to think of the truck, I started to think he was purposefully trying to block me.

It still turned out to be a great ride with an average speed of 20.1 MPH over a 50 mile loop with no breaks.

This is becoming my favorite loop this year. Usually the ride through downtown Greensburg will slow my average by 1 to 2 tenths of an average mph but this time I hit most of the lights when they were green.
