48F / 9C this morning, with a light tailwind. I seriously need brake work. (Full tune happening on Thursday). The front, I think, has an air bubble. I can bottom out the lever and it only gives anemic stopping power. The pads are fine. The rear makes up for it to an extent but I wouldn't want to panic brake down a steep hill.

Yesterday I had a screaming banshee of a tailwind. Most of my ride was conducted in the low 20MPH range and I barely broke a sweat. People don't seem to take advantage of tailwinds. The only two cyclists I saw... I passed them like they were going backwards.
