It was cold and windy here, too. Very windy. I had a strong headwind the whole way, and I can't remember the last time headwinds slowed me down this much. I had my little Garmin on my handlebars, and I watched my speed go down and down. Sometimes it fell below 9 mph, and I normally cruise at about 14 or 15. I seem to be weaker in headwinds than other folks. Lots of people passed me on the bike path, which is uncommon. The ride (12.4 miles) took ten minutes longer than normal! My feet hurt badly. There is a flight of stairs I have to walk down about 10 miles in, and after I got to the bottom, I kept walking for a bit to let my toes warm up. It helped, but only a little.

No regrets, though. Lessons learned. Must figure out something for my shoes.

I hope the wind doesn't turn around before my evening commute! I want that tailwind!
