This past weekend, the weather looked like it would provide a much more enjoyable ride, so I headed out on Sunday to get in my weekly ride.

It was still a bit chilly out, but what was also very obvious was the wind.  The whole first half of the ride, I was biking straight into the wind.  At one point, I passed a flag, and it was literally blowing directly parallel to my path of travel.  But it wasn't worse than the wind from the MS150 last year; I was able to maintain 10-13 miles an hour.

Once I turned onto 646 to start heading back to the house, the wind was now at my back.  And it was exhilarating!  I couldn't even really keep my legs "working hard" during the whole ride down 646, even though I was in my top gears and going 20-22 miles an hour.  It definitely evened out the work I had to do on the first half of the ride!  I made it back to the house in record time. =)

I did definitely feel the ride later in the day; I knew I had to get back spinning class this week!
