CX! CX! CX! I am going to try to learn the CX dismount/remount this weekend and see where it goes from there. I already have the right kind of bike; I just need to HTFU and do it.

Today there was a crazy headwind along the lake on my ride in this morning. I realize that as a cyclist I have it easy here in Chicago, what with the lack of any sort of hills. But I'd take a hill over 35+ minutes of relentless headwind any day. At least a hill has the other side... often by the time I get out of work 9 hours later and go home, what should be a tailwind has died down or shifted direction.
