the answer my friend...

is blowin' in the wind...yeah, it was yet ANOTHER windy day here in Madison, WI. K and I went for a quick bike ride (I had to get home to meet a potential roommate for the next lease year). K and I started from the Arb bridge and biked out for a little over 30 minutes -- all of it directly into a nasty headwind. At the intersection of PD & Seminole Hwy, there's a fountain across the road (approximately 120 feet away) and we were feeling the spray while waiting at the traffic signal. Total time out: 42 minutes (front door to turn around) - top speed: 22 mph (on a downhill)
Total time back: 35 minutes (turn around to front door) - top speed: 32 mph (on a slight downhill).
