I get one extra ride day from now on, since my Friday committee meeting has been disbanded and I no longer need to zip 10 miles across town at mid-day.
So I'll make up the missed miles.
You gentlemen need to perform a backbone check. A little wind and you jump in your cars? Hah - I spit at the wind (well only if its a tailwind
). I slogged down the Sammamish River Trail this morning averaging about 12MPH - dropping to near zero when the gusts hit. I normally maintain a 20MPH pace down the trail.
To the OP, it was light, and I think that the sun was actually shining but my eyes were mostly closed because of the grit being blown into them by the wind...
