 My bike ride:

Who said "They never come back"? The wind did! Wow that was a windy ride, not quite as bad as Tuesday. On Tuesday I only managed 14-15 km/h against the wind today I got up to 16 km/h. I was happy to get home, that's when the rain started, riding in the wind is ok but riding in the rain is knackering. Hate it;-)
