had a little less than an hour between the end of work and the beginning of my ems shift to get in a ride. i ran home at 4:00, changed quickly and hit the road about ten after. with a strong south wind behind me, i was able to cover the .30 miles to the highway in no time flat.
once on the highway, i cranked up the effort and flew down the road until i got out from behind the tree cover. that's when the east part of the southeast wind hit me. i slowed some, but kept pressing on.
when i turned around just past highway 49 north, i was at 17.2mph. that was down from an earlier top speed of 18.4mph.
all the way back, i was cruising. i maintained over 20mph most of the time. it was a blast. up and down the hills i rolled, happy for the assist from the wind. before i hit argonia's city limits i was at 19.2mph. how's that for a gain?!
i sped around the corner and stood to keep up my speed against the wind. i toughed it out all the way into the garage. man, that was fun! (14.30 miles @ 19.2mph)
