3.29.10

17 miles on the bike trail today.

34 degrees at start, 40 at the end.

I was warm enough, and even sweating on the way back. The trail has a slight decline on the direction we take. So the route home is a little uphill. We have also experienced tail winds on the way out. That means we are pushed downhill the entire first half of our ride, then battling the whole way home.

The winds weren't making sense to me, because they seem to be coming from a different direction when we bike the roads. (Not that I am always clear on what direction I'm going!) But Joe told me today that with cold fronts the wind tends to come from the north and warm fronts it comes from the south. So yeah, on the cold days we ride the bike trail and face the headwinds on the way home. We should ride on a warm day!
