Saturday afternoon ride to Torrente on the bicycle trail. Headwind was the worst I've experienced, with gusts up to 70 km/h, which explains the empty streets. Trip to Torrente took over 70 minutes, while the return, with the wind behind me, was done in less than 40. First time I had this bike over 45 km/h, I could have hit 50 but was worried parts would start flying off :)

Routing was Cuatro Carreres, past Hospital Le Fe, crossing the river at San Isidro Church, then bike trail to the center of Torrente and back.

I tried a different cam position but the ambient noise from the bike and shaking appear to be worse, so I'll go back to the way I had it mounted before :) This will be the last longer ride for a while, our students arrive tomorrow so I will be busy until they get settled into life in Spain.
