Last night, I rode to the bike coop to put in some volunteer work. It was cold and furiously windy out. There was also a sunshower on the way out. The wind gusted and shifted directions constantly. I rode my track racing bike, so reacting to crosswinds required good reflexes. But it was exciting. I crossed the Williamsburg Bridge which is fun and a bit challenging. The bike has a high gear ratio, so I had to put in some effort for the climb portion. On the descent, I picked up quite a bit of speed, and I was able to maintain a very high cadence with a smooth stroke. It takes a lot of attention, too. Riding fixed is a good workout. When I arrived, ridewithgps congratulated me on my personal best on that segment. I'm in the top 30% of those who record that segment.
