Tailwinds: what goes around, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nby Gil Jones
\nDon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you love wind at your back? Really, literally or figuratively, it is a nice feeling to have the wind at your back. Tailwinds let you move either faster or with greater ease. Yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ride planning was to have a ride with some distance and not necessarily speed. Just getting in the distance without a maximal effort was the idea as a part of my training for the BP MS-150 in mid-April. It was known that there would be some wind. No big deal for a West Texas kid \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just proud when there is no dust in the air! …<\/p>\n
