Tailwind tomarrow

Heading to Morgan County, UT in the morning. Should get there pretty fast this time.

Re: Tailwind tomarrow

At my normal power setting with no wind I am doing 118Kts. No pants and bigger tires have a cost associated. Did a little better this trip.

Ignore the fact that I am off course.

Re: Tailwind tomarrow

That speed would have been nice today. I think your tailwind was my headwind. We had a very short-lived tailwind in Idaho, but then we couldn't do much more than 80 knots ground speed through nevada as the winds switched from northwest to southwest. Glad at least someone was going east!
