I wish I could wear that to work.

Well, according to the weather report I had a tailwind.  It wasn't enough to really notice, but it was nice not having it fight me the whole way.

Temp was nice.  Someone told me not to "freeze out there" on my way out this morning.  I was like, "once you hit -45° its like, whatever!"  come on.  tell me to not freeze!?  what an insult.  NO, YOU DONT FREEZE!  Ill be sweating buckets bro!  

nice ride this a.m.

I believe I had a tailwind...  got kinda squirrely on me in E-town but was pretty steadily behind me the rest of the way.  Its possible it was the "canyon" effect, where the buildings redirect the air flow... or not.

So I guess, "5 Seconds of Summer" is playing...whoever that is.  I saw about a thousand teenage girls camped out from the front of the Riviera theatre down to the corner and around the block.  You'd have thought the Beatles were in town.

If you're not cussing out the headwind, you've got a tailwind.

Hit 20+ MPH on my 35 pound touring bike today for a good while without breaking a sweat.  Too cool.

Headwind.  lots o cyclists going fast the other direction.

Same here. What surprised me this morning were the number of northbound riders I passed that didn't look like tested veterans - but clearly commuters, and dressed for the weather. I hope it promises more commuters from the southside in the coming months - would love to have more company on my morning rides.

Are you riding your new wheels?

You are very observant, Lisa. Yes, I was. I am finally to the point where I am not a harm to myself, can start with not too much wiggle and can hold a quasi-straight line ... all without training wheels. The past few weeks made me feel like I was five again and my brother Al was pushing me along until I finally figured out the balance thing. Whee.
