On the flip side, I just took a late-night ride out to the harbor and it was friggin' awesome. The view of Boston was amazing, and when you had the wind at your back you just kept upshifting and the pedaling never felt any harder.

Of course, coming home today over the Harvard Bridge was absolutely awful. Terrible cross-wind. Maybe it's my mindset, but I'm way more enthusiastic about inclement weather when it's my choice...
