One of these days the wind gods will shine on me and let me have a tailwind both ways. I know it requires a shift in wind direction during the day, but that same shift has been happening the other way around several days this week, such that I have a headwind coming and going. I know this is true from:

1. Observed wind in trees
2. Direction planes take off as I pass the airport
3. NWS data online

Bad luck, I guess. Or good perhaps? It is a better workout.

At least as consolation in a way, I found another way to end my ride to work that's probably shorter than the way I normally go and a bit more scenic. Also gets me away from the river quicker, so wind is less of an issue. Of course, it means I have to share the route with more tourons, I mean, tourists, so that might impact how often I ride it...

Rode in to work all five days this week and did a ride on Sunday, too, so that's six days in a row of clycling. Feeling good!
