Early Spring Wyatville Loop

Wyatville Loop: 40.58 miles
Stats: Ride Time was 3 hours 27 minutes, average speed: 11.7

We set out into the SW wind knowing that the route would not get the best of us today but the wind sure might. The Wyatville Loop was quite a challenge on our spring legs so we did some modifications via gravel roads to shave 5 miles off the loop. At mile 10 we encountered a lengthy chase from two German shepherd dogs and the Halt spray had to come out to keep them from crossing our path and flipping the bike. We did out run them and enjoyed the rest of the route until the winds picked up for our last 10 miles.

We decided to cut across the gravel road to make a more direct route back home as our legs were running out of power. We made it back home after 3.5 hours of cranking with minimal breaks. The weather was beautiful on this early spring day with temperatures ranging from 51-81° making it hard to adjust our clothing for comfort but it’s all good and we are enjoying the opportunity to bike the extra miles this spring.
