Back in the saddle after 2 weeks of driving and I picked a beauty of an evening for the ride home last night! An east wind gusting between 32-39 mph, temp of -7C, 20F for windhill of -18C, 1F. Blowing snow as well, had about 4"- 5" druing the day. Had the studded Innovas on, was a great ride except for the wind. A lot of the ride was semi-sheltered so it wasn't too bad. The wind and snow accumulation combined to enable a new record for the ride home - 51 minutes, for an average speed of about 12 kph. My legs were telling me I shouldn't have taken 2 weeks off riding about half way home, but I persisted and managed to ride the entire 12 kilometres.

This morning's ride in was much more tame, -5C/24F, east wind of only 22 mph! Legs felt allright, it only took 38 minutes today. (it's a 22 minute ride in the summer!)
