Exactly what I needed!

It was RAINING this morning when I was supposed to be riding, so I stayed home and graded papers until the weather cleared. I took off at 2:00 PM into the headwind (24 mph sustained, gust up to 39 mph!). I averaged 11.4 mph out to the skate park (12.5 miles – counting every single inch, let me tell you!) and 12.8 mph overall. Once I turned around at the skate park and headed back east, I SOARED! My maximum speed was 22 mph. What fun. It was EXACTLY what I needed. Now I’m ready for the Space Race on Sunday.
