I woke up this morning to find that they've completely changed our weather forecast for today, and it's going to be partly cloudy with moderate SSW winds, so let's ride outside today at 08:00. We'll ride to Northfield again, but in the opposite direction as last week.

During the ride, it will be sunny with a few clouds, temps from 47 to 50, and east winds at 5 mph. The ride will follow our Grey Cloud Island route clockwise, which took us about 3:40 when we rode it in July.

We'll stop for a nature break somewhere along the route. The weather should be very good, with temps from 66 to 76 degrees, partly cloudy skies, and the 4 - 6 mph winds will be changing from the southwest to north, so we may have a tail wind at the beginning and end of the ride.

We will stop for a nature break at the beach near Prescott, unless there’s a need or preference to stop elsewhere.
