LOL - my commute in reverse. I rode to work this morning in 13 miles of 15-20MPH headwinds. Not a single break. Going over the bridge I was in the granny and the lowest of the low gears. UGH. But coming home tonight I sailed at 20MPH + for 90% of the trip, and get this, came over the bridge in my big ring, and hit 30MPH on the hill coming down. I was at the post office in 35 minutes. That's a record! The last 1-1/2 miles is through traffic, stops, peds, wrong way cyclists, and turns on every block, so there is no way to keep up the speed through there. What a ride though. If I could get to work in that time every day I'd commute every day.

I told my boss if I was on the bike tomorrow (car trouble) I would be skipping the 7am meeting cause with this wind I'd have to leave by 5:30am and it's just not happening.
