one step forward, three steps back

[bmccasland]

Yesterday's ride went much better, despite the WIND, 15-25 mph. This time there were three of us that stuck together. Being third in a paceline is a very nice place to be when there's a headwind. We traded off, so everyone got the chance to be in the back.

So I had a good 26 mile roundtrip ride. And the lungs cooperated too!

Good to hear it!!!
one step forward, three steps back is progress towards two steps forward, one step back.

Yesterday was paceline weather here, too. 28 mph but the echelon made all the difference and the ride back was fabulous!

It's ok bmccasland it's been a little while since you were on the bike last, your body just needs a little kick to get going. As for the wind, just think of it this way, the wind makes you tougher and stronger and no matter what, you will have to deal with the wind at point or another. Grit your teeth and bear it.
