A big day for the two buckaroos. I walked them for a bit and kept them in line so I think they'll warm up nicely mighty soon. I tried to make them tired, but had to get the place set up for cautiousness. This made me leave quite a bit late - ie I had 45 minutes for a ride that normally takes about that long. My legs were tired on top of that. I found a shortcut under the route nine bridge and stayed on the bike path the whole way. When I do that, the distance is less, but so is my average speed - I think the path slows me down - maybe it's the lack of four wheeled competition. The winds were strong, but I didn't really notice them until I made it onto campus, when a gust blew me halfway into a lane. Luckily, I think another one made me five minutes early for class - not enough time to change, but enough time to be on time. Not too bad of a ride!
