I rode 4 times this week, with 3 different mileages, for a total of 43 miles. I caught the extra "feeder" bus that took me within a half mile of my work (instead of 5 miles) on two of the days and today my wife is picking me up.
Wednesday, I had 25 mph headwinds on the ride home and decided to take the hilly route, so it felt as if I had a flat tire. What usually takes me 20 minutes took closer to 30. Luckily, the narrow portion of my ride had a tailwind, so I was not chugging uphill with cars whooshing around me.
