    So, I *finally* have some time to post. Work has had me tied up (not literally though!) for the past week. :/

    Bikeless, I still disagree. I'd have killed myself earlier if I wasn't with you. You rode at a nice steady pace which kept me from going to fast early and dying.

    And you did a *ton* of pulling and IMO you did more than your fair share of pulling. I really enjoyed riding with you. Having someone to talk to always makes the ride more enjoyable.

    I won't go into my specific ride report since it was similar to everyone else's... headwind, drizzle, more headwind, hills with headwinds, flats with headwinds, downhills with headwinds, oh and I think Trek mentioned headwinds... Other than the headwinds, however, the day was pretty beautiful for most of the ride. Much nicer than I was expecting... esp since I was all up in my rain gear.

    Maybe it's because I'm watching Monty Python at the moment, but while reading Melody's post, the SNL "More Cowbells" skit came to mind. It could be altered slightly to "More Headwinds".

    "We need more headwinds! Make more headwinds!"
    "NO, we don't need more headwinds, it's fine the way it is."
    "Well, how about more driving rain, then?!?"

    (Hey, I'm half British....really corny humor runs in the family...).
