Thursday Night Urban Assault

45 miles - 2:45 ride time. There were heavy winds all night long and it was to our back the first 1/2 of the ride.

At one point, we were riding along at about 20 mph and the air was completely still which meant it was about a 20 mph tail wind.

With the wind at our backs we climbed the long climbs on Pine Plain?? road off of Charleston highway at around 17 mph then when we crested the hill and were riding on the flat section we were going 27 mph (thats on a mountain bike with fat tires). Of course the down hill section was fast and we approached 40 mph coasting on the down hill.

All of that was fun until we headed back into the wind on the way home and my legs were toast. Even in the draft line the wind was rough because it was a cross wind.
