101km for the day! Made the round trip to Picacho Peak and back. Mostly gravel, lots of busted asphalt.

Saddles are still a pain point for me. This was with a new Rockbros foam saddle. I have a somewhat thicker gel Rockbros saddle I need to try next time.

But truly, the worst part was the headwind, in both directions. 😄 It switches direction after noon, some (most?) days here in AZ. Glad I missed the storm on Sunday. I would have walked home.

So cool, glad you reached that goal! Man, years ago, I used to think of headwind as a welcome challenge. But now? Damn, I gear down and take it easy. At the very least, the sensation of the wind is usually nice, but good on you for powering through!
