Just as I finished complaining about the ridiculous April headwinds, the leaders of tonight’s ride decided to head mainly East in a strong southerly wind. Spending part of the time on the correct side of the double echelon helped a little, but the rest was pretty brutal. Well April is over, and I can only assume the wind will die down tomorrow. Right?
Speaking of the end of April, I just did a quick tally and my ride mileage was just shy of 600 for the month (down from 831 miles in April 2006). I wonder how much of this I can blame on the horrible winter we’ve had…
Here’s what I’ve been doing this year.

Did you make a graph, Rob?
And I’ve got news for you, honey, this is Champaign-Urbana… it is always the windy season here.
