A very windy day. I figured that could be used as hill training in the flatlands. So I headed into the winds for about 17 miles. Seriously slow going and occasional crosswinds nearly knocked me off my bike. But coming home again, I had some good stretches of tailwinds and I was actually speeding at one point. Rolling down a hill with tailwinds into a little village where the speedlimit is 30mph, I was doing 30.5! I was pedalling as fast as I could, but alas as soon as the hill leveled out I slowed down. Then I hit headwinds again the last 6/7 miles home. 40miles total, but felt really tough with all the wind.
