Day of extremes for me.

On the way into work, it was beautiful and calm. Made very good time averaging 17 mph. Way home from work I struggled a bit, as the wind was in my face. Overall though, I averaged 16.5 mph, which is above average for my round trip to work.

Then, on the way to my volunteering, things turned. Way in was slow, but not horrible. Slight headwind, and seemed to be sluggish. Weather wasn't horrible by any means. Then, when I leave, everything is covered in about an inch of snow, and the wind is whipping a lot harder than it was on my way in, and in the complete opposite direction I'm going in. Probably a good 20 degrees colder with the wind chill. And I wasn't prepared at all for it. Needless to say, it was a very cold and slow ride home. Averaged 15.5 on the way in, and 13.5 overall.
