It's really weird though. There is a little circular path in my area where I can ride my bike for some minor exercise. Like when I got back from filling my tires earlier I though, 'That wasn't enough exercise, I'll go for a little loop before I go inside.'
You go from my front door, down a road to the lake and then back up a private road through a park, around and back to my front door. Or obviously you can go the reverse way. Less than 10 minutes. Just a little supplement sometimes.
The strange thing though is, when you go one way (clockwise), it seems like it is downhill all the way. And when you go CCW, it seems like it is all uphill. Makes no sense. You start and finish at the same elevation so you have to be going up and down the exact same amount - regardless of the direction. The wind is with you/against you the same amount.
It is all a matter of physics. It is impossible to be otherwise
But I swear the one way seems downhill all the way and the other, uphill.
I generally go the downhill way.
