39 Degrees this morning with a 7 MPH headwind, made for a slow trip to work. Coming home it was 2 degrees warmer and only a 6MPH headwind. Why is the wind always against me this week? I usually have a tailwind at least one way. I stopped for a cyclist I saw taking off his wheel, thinking he flatted, but he was just taking the wheel off to put it in his car. I guess he's a lunchtime rider. My clipless pedals and shoes arrived today. I'm giving up the toeclips and joining the 20th century 6 years after it ended.

I keep my toeclip straps tight and loosen them by rotating my foot, so it seemed natural when I tried out the clipless pedals tonight. I can't wait for tomorrow's commute. Even though they predict a headwind...sigh.
