A tailwind, on the other hand, is one of the most beautiful experiences you can have on a bike. There__ no wind in my ears, so I hear everything around me. The chain purrs sweetly as it pulls the gears under the coaxing of my legs. The soft hiss of my tires on the smooth hard pavement, the sound of little critters scurrying in the desert around me as I pass. Smells aren__ as big a deal out here in the dry desert, but even the smells are more accessible in a tailwind, since I__ moving through air at a slower relative speed, and the smells linger around my face long enough to register and enjoy them.Relative progress, speed, sights, smells, sounds. It all goes together to create a gestalt for the ride that__ pure sweetness, and I never want it to end.Hozho.
