Actually got stopped dead by a big gust of wind while crossing the Ohio/Ontario feeder on Milwaukee - oof! That's a first for me.

YES!!!

First ride in over two weeks. Been home with the wife since she gave birth 4/1, today was unfortunately my day back at the office. Not too happy right now, but being back in the saddle eased the pain a little bit. Now I really can't wait to ride home.

Congratulations, Jeremy. Fatherhood is the scariest, most rewarding and fulfilling thing you will ever do.

2 miles of a horrible head wind.

In the original "I'm hardcore" spirit of this thread... The wind was not horrible, but the huge box of recycling served as a pretty good sail/parachute.

Good thing that bike has a coaster brake (not that I needed it much with all that weight) as it freed up a hand to keep that load steady. A huge box on a tiny front rack is not optimal - but the recycling facility is pretty close, so it was not a problem.
