I commuted for years W-E/E-W across town, from the city's low point at the Rio Grande to within 1.5 miles of the Sandia foothills, a gradual climb of some 7 miles along Rt 66 (total 15-16 depending on starting point -- I moved -- and route). This was for by far the most part on fixed gears in the 67" to 70" range. It was always frustrating that the return leg, again 7 miles downhill, was never any faster than the outbound leg; the reason being the afternoon westerlies that blow almost all year round. Of course, the winds only started up about noon.
