yesterday's lesson about speed

[Biciclista]

good story!
it pays to be very aware of the wind. It changes speed and direction too. Lots of people have experienced headwinds in both directions. nasty stuff!

[Tri Girl]

So true! Good job on your ride yesterday!!

I hate when you're cruising along and feeling good (not really feeling like you have a tailwind) then you turn around and BAM! headwind!

I ride mostly at the lake by my house. It's a 10 mile loop, and even tho I swear the wind blows 10mph more there than where they measure the wind,at least I'm always alternating between headwind and tailwind the whole ride. Unless there's a wind-shift and you get headwind the whole way around.

Amen to the wind! I've had a "headwind" on many rides both going out and coming back. But a tailwind . . . sweet heaven!
