Yesterday I mentioned the headwind in the morning and how I hoped it was still pointing the same way at 5:30... and it was. Whee, that was fun!

This morning I got to the second traffic light on my ride (16th and Castle) and there was a huge backup with a cop directing traffic. I normally go straight at that light, as 16th Street is not sane for bikes. But he had it closed down and I asked if I could turn right anyway. He waved me through so I got to do a mile on a street I've never ridden. Didn't affect my distance, and added a minute or two to my time, but hey, novelty's good.
