It's not in my head

[xeney]

I suppose if I changed to a route that went the other direction I could have a constant tailwind??? Never seems to work that way.

Nah, when that happens, you never think to be grateful for the constant tailwind. You just think, man, I'm fast.

I purposely rode with a tail wind on my 40 miler on Mother's Day Sunday. I had my husband and kids pick me up at destinations end, my mom's house. I took a shower, stretched, and visited and then we all went out for mother's day dinner. One of those GREAT ride days.

You are right, man, are we fast on those days - and in GREAT shape too

I can't imagine having a head wind every direction. Bawling. Crying. Throwing a fit.

I've done that; Suddenly, I'll have picked up 3-5 extra mph on a course I regularly do and I'll think, "Gee, I'm getting good at this!", and then when I turn around to come back the wind smacks me in the face and I realize I'm not actually getting good at it...

Thanks so much for proving we're not crazy!!!

Oh no. I only proved that I'm not crazy. The jury is still out on the rest of you.

I've more or less given up on catching the ever elusive tail wind. I don't think there are such things.
