-1C with excellent 42kph tailwind this afternoon. The ride home will be slow unless the wind dies down early. Yesterday I had a 40 gusting to 55kph headwind for the trip home. The road was torn up in one spot so I took the new section of the MUP. It has a nice drop that leads into a turn where I can easily get up to 40kph. That spot is completely unsheltered from the wind so it will probably get blown in with snow on a regular basis.

I stopped by the LBS this morning and my Pugsley had arrived but was still in the box. I'll be picking it up tomorrow afternoon. I got a black Brooks Professional saddle for it and brought it home today to get some proofide onto it. The saddle is probably in excess of 10 years old and is sucking up the proofide like crazy. I'd wipe the bottom and 30 seconds later it would be dry to the touch.
