Unfortunately, I get the relatively light tailwinds on the way in - and the insane headwinds on the way home. Took a new route yesterday - boredom is setting in. Only redeeming feature is that it breaks up the big chunk into the wind.
Who's bright idea was it to make "bike paths" like sidewalks? Riding on the road is so much easier/faster than the ca-chunk, ca-chunk of a million cracks to ride over.
