52:42/168

Since I didn't get much exercise skiing, and since the sun was shining when we got back with Diane from the day care center, I tried to eat quickly so I could hop on the bicycle. Nevertheless I couldn't get ready and away until after 3:30, and it was already below 1 C (34 F), so I rode out through Montmélian and came back.

I should've measured circuits, but instead I felt like getting some fresh air.

My legs were a little tired after all, so once I warmed up I kept the cadence high. The wind was blowing almost as hard here in the valley as up on the mountains. At one point I was working hard downhill to keep moving at 26 km/h, leaning half sideways into the wind. At another point my speedometer registered 43 km/h, but I was spinning almost effortlessly at a cadence of 115 and it seemed there was no breeze at all.
