Maybe it was one of the people who post to Burlington Vermont's Craigslist/RNR. (Look for posts about cyclists) I swear, the people who post there have the average intellect of a 12 year-old. I read it because it's like watching a train wreck. I don't respond.

Anywho, fast ride again today, even with a soul-sucking headwind: 17MPH at the airport, 32MPH on the lake, which I ride next to almost all the way in. Temps around 60F. Hardly saw anybody. Passed a young lady, and noticed a rider who seemed to be reeling me in (or trying to at any rate) but he never caught up.

I talked to a cyclist at a red light about the headwind. He agreed that the wind would probably turn around and be in our faces for the ride home too.
