the wind gods are definitely ticked at me for some reason. on the way north (i started from hoboken terminal), i had the toughest headwind. no illusions, i was checking out the leaves and the grass blowing. then i got hung up in nyack and piermont chatting for a spell and the wind did an about face! even stronger out of he south. i am beat! i love this feeling.
Not as glamorous but
did 50 in PP earlier

strong headwind, some serious gusts, from 3 directions (west,east, and south) with some from the north as well.
how does that happen?

nothing better than pushing 81 gear inches into a strong wind for 15 laps and having the pyramiders shoot by in baby gears.

makes 'em proud

click, click
