After the sketchy weather looked clear enough for a ride. I did a loop that brought me just south of Waunakee so I could travel along Merffert Road. There were strong winds from the south east, but traveling west with this tailwind was quite nice. After reaching highway 12 I headed a bit north and got on Kickaboo Road. The wind turbines were all running, harvesting that solid breeze. The sound they made was faint, but it was akin to the sound a jet makes when far overhead. Unlike less windy days where there is a periodic whoosh, this sound was continuous. The birds were louder than the wind turbine, but I tried to capture the sound using my the video of camera, but the wind turbine sound could not be discerned over the other sounds.
I had about 45 minutes before sunset and decided to bike to Martinsville. I had not approached the town from the east before. After Martinsville I worked my way south east into the wind. My route must have had decent wind breakers as my ride wasn't nearly as fast, but wasn't noticeably harder. I logged 26 miles and burned 1,500 Calories. This will have to make up for the fact I will likely not be cycling tomorrow on account of continuous rain.
