Tough wind conditions on the ride home last night, but otherwise a really beautiful afternoon. Sunny and warm, but pedaling into a 20 mph headwind felt like trying to move a wall. Surprisingly though, I made the same time (1:45 to knock off 30 miles) that I always do. I wonder what I could have done on a windless day...

Discouraging though was being passed by a cycling club about an hour into my ride. These guys were flying. I estimate 27 mph. I cold not even speed fast enough up to attempt to hang with them for a minute. They came, and then they were gone. Whoosh!
