I wish I could time it like that. On Monday I went on a 30 mile ride and the last 15 were straight into the wind !! I stick to bike paths for the most part and my favorite is north/south so depending on the weather it could be a tough ride for half of it. The good news is its an old rail cut so much of it is quite sheltered. Only in a few spots do I get the brunt of the wind. It typically swirls and loses it punch. In some spots where its really open it can be tough. I thought it was gonna stop me in my tracks !!

I have been wanded a few times since my surgery. My implants are mostly titanium so they react quite weakly to metal detectors. I think I will be OK flying. I can always show them some hella scars if I need to !!!
