Wind

So I did my 10 mi a day early this week because I *might* attend a kickboxing class tomorrow night. Today's ride was interesting. I still did my Olympic route, but this time there was a West-East wind. So instead of hitting about 20 mph going west, I was doing about 16 mph. However, the benefit was that I was doing about 16 mph going east (instead of about 12 mph). I think I like the wind. At least it keeps my pace consistent.

Three weeks later...

OK, so my plan of biking at least once a week didn't work. But now I'm back (and the weather's better) so I logged in another 10 miles this morning. I did Olympic Pky again. This time I was better prepared to tackle it east-bound. I didn't "zip" through it but just maintained a nice steady 12 mph. I wasn't as tired when I turned around to go west again. However, the Paseo Ranchero hill still kicked my butt.
