I rode my Schwinn Typhoon 2-speed to work today. There's a speed sweet spot, just before wind noise takes over, where the tires really sing. What a hoot.

100.07 on Saturday, the first 42 going into a brutal headwind. Brutal because it was 1) in my face, 2) 15-20mph, and 3) too much for my current conditioning. The tailwind stretch was fun.

Today's commute was interesting. Rode on slicks in the morning, back home at lunch where I switched to studded tires. Rode home on ice, no problems. Fun.
