The Toughest Ride of the Season (so far)

Today, I decided to do something a bit more technical, and by definition, a little tougher than the rides I'd done up till now.  So I decided to go south on the Santa Fe trail through the Air Force Academy, and then into the woods along the banks of (what I believe is) Monument Creek.

Which meant I was going downhill the whole way out.  Well, after about 10 miles I decided to turn around.  after about a mile, I felt the wind kick up - a south-bound wind.  So I was not only going uphill, through the woods, but I was doing it with a 10-15 mph headwind.

By the time I got home, I was exhausted.  My quads feel like someone has beaten them with a baseball bat.
