Took my usual lunchtime route up San Bruno Mountain with a colleague from work today. Holy moley, that wind was unusually strong even for San Bruno Mountain. On the way up, I was feeling like Clark Kent wearing Kryptonite underpants.
The way down was a whole other story though - I topped out at a shade over 53mph on Guadalupe Canyon, I normally max out at 46-47mph. Although there was no phonebooth at the summit, I did feel that big "S" on my chest as I came down the hill. Then of course there was a huge cross-wind at the bottom that caused me to shout an entirely different "S" word quite loudly.
Anyone else have fun battling our weather today??
