I'm going to drop you. Like a sand bag. ;)

I take that back...after yesterday's ride, I'm 99% sure I'll be sagging out before we hit Pendleton.

ps. Looks like we picked the right weekend to do the Pie Ride. This weekend would have been horrible:

They had just of wind up to 48mhp yesturday too. I don't think I'd be able to stay upright with that type of cross winds

The winds yesterday were either crosswinds (interesting with my deep profile rims...) or headwinds. Uphill. The entire loop. I had, maybe, one tailwind, and it was pulling into my driveway when I almost smacked the garage door.

Unrelated; I was a big fan of tailwind until my most recent flight back from Asia. 160+MPH tailwind making the 13hr flight almost 12hr... needless to say, every time it went a little off the flight became exceptionally roller coaster-ish. Scary. :p
