I had a stiff tail wind. I wonder how much the wind contributed to my speed and how much it was the lightness of the bike.

There were occasional breezes off the river which were amazingly cool. I don't remember that happening here before. Very pleasant.

Of course, I'm wishing for a wind shift. But if it doesn't shift, maybe it will be interesting to see how well I do in the headwind on this bike, as opposed to my usual ride, my Bianchi Volpe.
