First day back from two weeks of vacation. I was thrashed by mother nature with a howling 30MPH headwind blowing off Lake Champlain. I hope it's still there when I ride home or I'm going to be a tad put out. In some places I was barely pushing 10MPH.

Not too cold though. 42F/6C. Just coming back from Germany & Austria, this talk about the metric system amuses me. Americans can't even figure out how to make (or use) a proper dollar coin.

And try being a pilot. Wind is in knots. Temperature is in C. Distance is nautical miles. If you fly an old airplane your airspeed is indicated in MPH but the GPS ground speed says knots. Direction can be either magnetic or true depending on how its delivered.
