I agree on the wind and riding bikes. Nothing is worst than heading home and going against a head wind 1 or 50 miles, been there done that. papa
I like your lists, tells allot about your time there. I don't like riding in the wind either, the rain is ok. But then again I'm not riding to classes. how far do you think you ride in a day? Pictures are nice.
It's only about 5ish minutes to the University and about 15-20 minutes to the city center by bike. But I ride at least 30 minutes every day (errands and different buildings), longer if i go to the city center.
Oh, I hate that we dont have hot water sometimes in the mornings.
Also, that I have to wash every leaf of lettuce to wash away little bugs.
I have several rides I do and yesterday I just made it home from my 40 minute ride as it started raining. Thought of you with the rain and wind. papa
