To and from Mom's today to pick up and deliver her mail, 23+ mile rt. The inbound route to Rio Rancho involves some 3 or 4 miles of climbing and it is all pretty much due west, from which direction blew and still blows a spring westerly "28 gusts to 41" for the 87124 zip area, which kept my clock stopped speed (which y'all are obsessed with knowing) at 12.7 mph for the 57 minute, 12.06 inbound leg; down to 8.XX mph on one slight grade, standing all the way. Outbound, I hit 34.5 mph down the steep, 4/10 mile hill which, in the 69" gear = 167 rpm -- damn' fast for me.
I probably ought to flip the wheel, but challenges are one very big part of cycling pleasure. I *have* learned to pace myself, thank God.
