It's a miracle

Today I had a tail wind on the way out and the way back.

That's because a peleton of bikes were doing the same journey in the opposite direction.

I once set a personal best in a '10' when the tailwind that had blown me to the turn promptly dropped for the return.

Someone needs to have a word with the weather bureau. Your supposed to get headwinds bothways :lol:

And lo! I have seen a goat with two heads, two tails and eight legs. It's a sign! It's a sign!

No I think you're wrong it needs to be a much taller goat.

Don't worry. Today is Friday 13th, so no chance.

It used to annoy me greatly when I was cycle-commuting, that the wind was against me in the morning going in, and against me in the evening coming home.

It never happened that the wind was behind me both ways. :oops:

Amazing difference it makes though. I've seen speeds from 14 to 18mph average on my commute, and the only factor appears to be wind.

I experienced almost the same miracle, headwind on the way out AND the way back! I really suffered and enjoyed myself.

I was once cycling past Speke (John Lennon) airport and clocking 40mph and the wind was still whistling past my ears!
To say I was glad I was travelling the same way as the wind would have been an understatement...
