I rode 40 miles on my fixed gear bike today. It was warm but windy, just like my last ride on on Thursday and I rode a similar route. I had a similar hatred for the homeward leg when I had to ride into the wind.

I missed my weekly Sunday night ride yesterday, and it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so I figured I better get a ride into tonight. Got 25 miles in on the fixed gear bike. A little cooler than it's been but the wind wasn't as bad, so it was very pleasant.
You're going to be really familiar with the sights of Fort Worth before you know it....
First: NEW BIKE LANE!!!! Westcreek Drive used to be two, two-way streets on either side of the the creek. But this week they made each side one-way and marked off bike lanes. Frankly I don't think this was needed; Westcreek (on either side of the creek) was already a good bike route, but I appreciate the effort. (Ha! I just noticed they left the Two-Way traffic sign up.... oops!)
The Hulen Street bridge, which goes over a tollway which goes over a train yard, with a lovely view of downtown a few miles off.
The ZEN TAXI. Don't worry, I don't know what this means either.
The top of West 7th Street looking down toward downtown.
The West 7th Street bridge into downtown at the bottom of the hill. From the top to the bottom = 160 ft. descent = WHEEEEEEEEE!
Don't worry, I'll never cross the bridge like this:
The cop at the end of the bridge let him off with a warning (seriously).

First "real" ride in CO since moving here.. Fiancé went for a run in Golden, and I went on a ride up in the mountains. I wouldnt say it was hard but certainly wasnt easy -- Did like 1500ft of climbing in the first 2miles or so which is nuts, especially since I havent really had the chance to ride in over a month!
