Ugh. Headwind the whole way home. That hurt. I figure I get to count it as two rides if the Garmin logs it as two separate rides, right?

Morning commute went well. Evening commute kind of sucked. I blame the lady with the heart-shaped potato … no, really, I blame the headwinds and being tired from a [...]

If you think it will take 45 minutes, allow an extra 45 minutes for mishaps. It’s still really cold at 7:30 am. Headwinds and false flats suck. 7th West south of 90th South doesn’t go through, [...]
