Hauling

There is nothing quite so invigorating as hauling the mail on skinnyish tires, down a false flat with a tail wind........

And nothing quite as depressing as the opposite direction.


It all has to do with perceived ground speed vs perceived effort.


In one direction you are Tour de France material.

The other way, you are a sorry fool who has no business being on a bicycle.


The commute from the hospital to surgery center blew by in 18 minutes, which is indeed hauling for a ride which I allow 30 minutes. We'll see how it feels going home.

Red sky in the morning, commuter take warning!
