biking - dark blue bike 1:01:12 16.02 mi (3:49 / mi) +611ft 3:41 / mi
ahr:123 max:148 weight:139lbs
Low 70s, S 15 mph. Tried what I often do in such circumstances (ie. windy), to pick a route that gives you some shelter (hills, woods) when going upwind and has you out in the open when going downwind. I guess it helps a little, though perhaps mostly with morale.
Got around OK. It certainly helps when going upwind to get your back more horizontal (though it's still a long ways from actually horizontal). Drop the shoulders a few more inches and you can just feel it getting easier to pedal. Would be even easier if you could just keep your head down, but that's not such a good idea, so the neck muscles get a workout. But they don't seem to mind. I think the birding has already toughened them up.
This being the 5th month, the (very flexible) target for the month is 500 miles. Ahead of schedule so far.
