This is my first week so I'm really the newbie here. I've been working up for this for several weeks though so it's not been too bad. I'm generally heading north to south going home and often have a headwind but that is only a problem in the open areas.

It was raining lightly today when I came in - I'm buying fenders tonight. It's not all just about getting into shape but just learning what needs to be done. I'm so glad I ran across this forum.
