ROFLOL, me too.

I have been commuting into a westerly wind, the past couple days the snow has been melting and puddling on the bike path, then at night when I have a tail wind on the way home, I am blown across the ice patches.

As each of these commutes is in a way a training ride for my "bucket list extended tour," I try and find some gratitude that I am not riding into these headwinds with a fully loaded bike. That day is coming, sooner than I am anticipating.
