A problem with wind

I went on a long bike ride yesterday. From home to Hadleigh and back. That involved negotiating the Dartford Crossing where cyclists get a lift through by the people that work there. Did you know, you they will drive your car through if you're scared! Now that's service!

Anyway, the hardest thing about riding a bike is the wind. I can cope with rain, punctures, hills and motorists, but a strong wind kills me..... Yesterday was just like that. A strong wind was blowing from the west. A record time getting there with the wind behind me, and a torrid time coming back. I made it though. 52 miles.

You can see the details from my Garmin GPS on the Motion Based site.
