I've been away and off the bike for the last two weeks on a bike-free vacation that would elicit no sympathy were I to describe it; got to ride 10 jet-lagged miles this afternoon before the Pats game, cool (mid-50s), clear, and blustery. Took nearly the whole outbound leg to get warmed up, that combined with the headwind led to a slow-motion ride out to Lexington. The pace picked up a bit on the return. I took the LHT on this one, appreciating its stability in the gusts.
