Great ride home yesterday, did the 20 mile route, very strong east wind had me FLYING through the first 3rd of my route, and was a crosswind during the second, but not to bad, luckily during the last section (up hill too) it's through some pretty sheltered areas so it didn't effect me too bad. Made excellent time, 1 hour 19 minutes for the 19.5 mile trip. (usually about an hour and a half)

Ride in was nice, felt sluggish at first, but I don't think I really was, cuz I made excellent time again, with no wind this morning.

Albuquerque is doing a pretty big bike to work promotion, including free breakfast on Friday in a bunch of places around town (not resturaunts, just like setting up tables I think) and I ride RIGHT PAST two of them. Bad news (or good?) is that I'll be on my way to Las Vegas on Friday, and won't be partaking in any of the free food.

In a last note for this long winded poster, have found a thread with many Albuquerque commuters on it, and we're trying to keep it alive, anyone from Albuquerque (or anywhere in New Mexico really) should check it out here http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=195839
