Winds really started to pick up yesterday afternoon (steady 25mph with gusts to over 35mph). I decided I really wasn't dressed for it, and just didn't feel like dealing with that much head/cross winds for 19-miles... so I took the bus home. It was still quite a chore for the 1-mile ride to the bus stop and the 1-mile ride when I got off the bus to my house.

I don't usually commute on Tuesdays in the winter since we have neighborhood tradition of a Tuesday morning spin class. We have a group of 6 or 7 guys that live fairly close, and we ride our trainers for about an hour early Tuesday morning. I'm the only one in the group that commutes, but several in the group do quite a bit of mountain/cross biking on the weekends. I know... we look like dorks riding nowhere fast... but it's a good group!
