Another warm day . . . another ride.

As I had done on February 10th, I took another half day off today to resume my 2009 cycling season. Although the temperatures were (again) in the low 60s, the fierce 30 mph southwesterly winds made it feel like I was cycling at Olympic speeds at times and riding on a sandy beach at others. Riding into the wind was good training for my cardiovascular system and my legs, though. As before, I stayed exclusively on pavement. My ride today through parts of Schaumburg and Roselle was 17.3 miles and my 2009 total mileage now stands at 31.9. That figure may not seem too impressive, but after all, it's only March 5th!
