good You spin me right round, baby, right round like a record 21.32 mi 01:22 15.6mph pace

So I totally thought I was riding into the wind on the way out. And then I turned around. And then I realized that I was REALLY riding into the wind. So the second half was a test of wills--Brette vs Aeolus. But I just kept those wheels spinning right round (like a record, baby)--right round round round--and made it home.

...and yes, I just made a Greek mythology reference next to a Dead or Alive reference.

    Thanks! Somehow, I never really notice the wind until I'm trying to ride into it. And then I feel self-conscious--like the cars think I look like I'm taking it really slow and easy even though I'm powering through as hard as I can!
