The Wind Beneath My Wheels...
I usually average 13 mph over the 9 mile mostly downhill ride to work. This morning I had a stiff tailwind and for the first 6 miles I averaged 31 mph! The last 2 miles were mostly into the wind, but I was still smiling.
The wind shifted around almost 180-degrees for the ride home, but it was not as strong. Although I did average 13 mph instead of the usual 12 (uphill) and the steepest section of the route wasn't too bad.
Just wanted to share.
