Biking in a 30km Head Wind

Went for a ride last night with Lucy. We went along the river from my place to the Rockcliff Canoe Club. It was about 15km each way. On the way out we had to fight a 30km head wind, it felt much like we were going up hill the whole distance. Our average speed out was 18.5km/hr. On the way back along the same route it was 24km/hr. A tail wind makes a huge difference.

Lucy just bought a new mountain bike and I am green with envy!!! Nice bike Lucy!!!

Biking again this Saturday. Will keep you posted.

Cheers.

Hi Paul,

Darin and I, along with many others at Tom's party yesterday, are regularly checking on your progress in the race with the satellite map that we can see via your GPS. Pretty cool technology. We hope you're enjoying your last few hours of the race. We're proud of you!
