Todays ride was... painful!!
Yesterday I fought a 25-30 mph headwind for 10 miles with gusts well above 40mph.
Today my legs felt like wet noodles but I still managed to make it to work, good thing the wind was only at 15mph with 25mph gusts.
It was a bit chilly with all the wind and my Trek anatomy gloves were almost useless.
However, I did meet up with a guy on a bike, wearing an old army jacket. He was on the sidewalk and I met up with him at the redlight. He told me he lost his license a while back from a DUI. I asked if he wanted to ride with me so we could talk and wot-not, just to make the time pass and his reply was priceless!!
He said he didn't like being in the road because it was too dangerous with all the drunk drivers and such. I held back, but he knew by the smirk on my face what I was thinking.
Good thing I have 4 days off work now, my legs need the rest. Hopefully I'll make it home in the morning alright.
