That's the beauty of it. On the way out you're thinking "I am the motherfucking man! Look at me hammering away in the big ring. GO cat, GO!"

Then, you turn around and head into the wind...

After a while I began to be aware of lack of wind in the face when riding means a tail wind, don't be fooled into thinking I have an extra ten miles in me.

Nice ride. How much altitude? It would be intersting to split your avg speed: out and back, see how much the wind affected you.

Very cool. I hate to ask this, but where is the speed line on the graph?

I'm guessing when your speed drops below 15 you are climbing. pretty impressive.

Here is the one I chickened out on BITD. The guys I rode the MS150s with were trying to me to go. I was probably the 2nd or 3rd strongest rider among us but was pretty sure I'd damage myself permanently. I'd like to get in shape to do it but time and knees. time and knees.

Wow, not that's a century.
