For the bike, I had to detour from my usual route (airport road) due to some slow road work. I got on the road to Smithfield and headed to Amalga on 100 North. I had some tailwind every now and then but that was the only time on the whole ride. From here until Little Mountain, I had to go against the wind. I took it hard on the two miles of uphill that is Little Mountain and that seemed to pull out a part of me. I ended up feeling better and riding faster after the uphill than I was before, weird. It was gradually uphill to Clarkston and then a good size hill of of the town and it was all downhill from there. I looped to benson and headed back home. Later I went on an easy six miles. The Gel Noosas seem to give me the support I need and also are very light allowing me to keep a good cadence.
