We went out for a short ride Sunday (15 miles) because i couldn't stand it... we were supposed to do a 40 mile ride, but it was cancelled. The wind didn't bother me until (of course) we turned onto Rt. 117 for about a quarter of a mile. I guess the wind was coming out of the west, because it nearly blew me off my bike and into the cars. Needless to say, I was happy with 15 miles.
I rode 16 and half miles today, up some hills and it still seemed very windy. I will try again tomorrow, since there's only 8 more days of after work riding time left for me. Hopefully, I can do 20-25 tomorrow!

I thought I heard that DST was being extended 1 more week now??.......that it doesn't end until the first weekend in Nov??
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

That change doesn't kick in this year - based on a web search I just did, it doesn't start until March of 2007.

This is the first time in my life that I am actually looking forward to DST ending! Yikes! I never thought I'd say that, but because I don't get out of work until after 6:00PM, I have been going out for early morning 6 AM rides. It is pitch dark on both ends of the day now, but with a return to standard time I might have a little more light in the morning. I have NEVER been a morning exercise person...amazing what the bike can make you do!
