Big boo for tonight's head wind...

Pretty damn stiff headwind on the way in to work yesterday and today, adding an extra 5 minutes to my average time.

OTOH - a fantastic tailwind on the way home last night meant I was flying along. Despite being held up in traffic a few times (no way past safely), I managed to cover the 10 miles in 29.00 exactly. I was chuffed to bits.

As I went out with the club straight after work, I think I had the wind behind where usualy it had been in my face heading home.

The only good thing about head wind ive found is all that extra air being shoved down your lungs quicker

Not as strong a tailwind as the headwind was this morning, but still decent enough. Sadly, got stuck first behind a double-decker bus with no way past until it pulled in, then behind one of those disabled minibuses - again no way past it for quite a while until the road widened.

So I only 30 mins 10 secs tonight

If I have to get a head wind on the commute, I'd rather have it on the way home as most of its downhill.

I don't know what it is about winds somedays I can plough through stronger winds, yet other days its like hitting a brick wall?

For me, it's usually dependent on how knackered I am when I crawl out of bed and get on the bike, or how knackered I am at the end of a long day at work.

Then there's the end-of-the-week factor - on a Friday riding home, I somehow always find hidden reserves of energy to power me there much quicker !!
