Swanton time trial

I headed up Hwy 1 into a typically tough headwind. There was a light turnout of about 10 riders. The wind had eased a bit when I started. Once, on the early part before the valley, due to the bumps in the road, I lifted off the saddle and sat back on a testicle painfully. I don't know my official time, but my estimates give me 20:08 outbound, and 14:45 on the return, for a total of 34:53, reflecting the easing of the wind. After a minimal break, I headed home with the tailwind. The sun was starting to set by the time I got home, so it's good that I didn't rest any longer before heading back home.
