A good day to be a south-sider! (I mean every day is a good day to be a southsider as long as you don't need Thai food, live music or theater.)

Not fair. Headwind and sideswinds on the way in to work...then headwinds and sidewinds on the way back home...grr.  Oh well. Just some added exercise.

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.
