The ride home last night was killer (and not necessarily in a good way). Headwind (or at least it seemed that way

) the whole way; heavier than normal traffic on W. Railroad St.; longer distance (16 miles versus 10.5); heavier/sluggish bike due to the new bucket panniers (which held up great during the ride, BTW

). Had a very satisfying dinner with the wife and a game of Quiddler afterwards, but too tired for more, well, more.

This morning my legs are reminding me of the torture they went through.
