The wind was howling up here in Topanga, so I said no freaking way to riding at all. Instead, I drove some of the Malibu hills, took some pics (film, so nothing to share for a day or two), and had a big plate of pasta. While on PCH I noticed the wind wasn't as severe. Had I known that I would have loaded the bike in the car and at least do a short beach cruise. While perusing a map at the bottom of Topanga Canyon Blvd, I noticed a rider turn up into the canyon from PCH. I thought, "Wow, good luck going up that hill in these winds. You're obviously a better man than I." 2 minutes later he passes me on my side of the road. He obviously hit a wave of wind that knocked some sense into him. 40 - 50 mph gusts must have been his limit.
