Did 28 miles yesterday, 20 in and 8 to the wifes work from mine. The ride in was great, but I got passed by a guy on a mountain bike. It was during the flat "pace yourself before the hills" section of my ride. I thought about running him down, but decided to let him have his glory. It was short lived as he turned off about a mile later.

The ride home was pretty wild, I ride west, and then north to my wifes work, I had a fullblown headwind for the west section, (wind was blowing towards the east and north...weather site says 26 mph with gusts as high as 38) but then I got a massive tail wind for the north section. It ended up taking me exactly the same amount of time it does when there is little or no wind.

Did 8 miles in this morning, feeling a little tired from yesterday, freakin wind wears me out. That and my wife woke up with a bad dream and I had trouble falling back asleep...
