tonight. Hmmmm Wind Advisory in effect, but will expire before the ride. SSW winds @ 25mph, with gusts up to 35mph.

Club ride is in a hour, supposedly it is going to be a decent size group, and there may be some of my team members there. I'm kinda on the fence, I took a shelling on the Monday night ride and I'm not totally recovered yet... Hmmmmmmm....

Ride, but guard your wheel a little more carefully.

I rode. It wasn't pretty, but I rode. Strong head wind for 25% of the ride and then 50% of the time we were in the cross wind. I guess I just wasn't looking for a reason not to ride in the wind, but I'm glad I did. it was windy but still fun with a little bit of suffering at the end.

isnt that why you ride anyway, to suffer?
