Did something similar here-- I almost always bike to church (it's only 1.5 miles away). With the winds pretty mild in the morning but predicted to really pick up in the afternoon, I took a long, scenic route to church (not all that long, just 7 miles or so). And then I had strong tailwinds pushing me home after church.


But now the winds aren't all that bad after all, and I'm thinking of a little trip out on the bike path.
