My ride home last night was a whip! A fun whip, but a whip nonetheless, thanks to the blasted 18MPH headwind. Got so brutal going up one usually easy hill that I tried to get down in an aero position on my MTB by resting my elbows on the grips. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be needing the brakes at that point in time, but I didn't feel particularly stable so it didn't last long. Anyway, got home feeling good, and then the family hit the road for another 6 or 7 very slow miles around the neighborhood, with the kids behind me in the Trek trailer and the wife on her new Crossroads, which she seems to really be enjoying.
