Ride into work for Thursday, 17 November

Another crappy weather day with rain and wind. This time, I actually caught a few tailwinds, including one going uphill - it was quite a novelty to be pedalling uphill at 40km/hr with no effort! The downside of having wind this powerful was, of course, the headwinds and sidewinds. According to Environment Canada the wind was 40km/hr with gusts of 60km/hr. On top of this the warm temperature meant I was pretty severely overheated, even though I wore kneewarmers (to soak up the sweat) under the waterproof pants instead of cycling pants, and a shortsleeve jersey with armwarmers instead of a longsleeve jersey.
