Day one was fun, although it was headwind. I pulled the group of uprights, which doesn't usually happen! On day 2 we had terriffic winds - sometimes gusting to 40 mph and once nearly blowing my wheels out from under me. Then the rain hit, but at least it made the wind stop!

Today it rained almost all day. In spite of it I got a few pics and even a couple movie clips. I'll have to post when I get home. Also, you know how 'they' say never ride in a strange paceline? 'They' were right. 5 bikes led by two tandems. Plus me. Lead tandem didn't see the turn marking unti it went under them. So they simply slammed on thebrakes. What a mess! I got out of it with a big bruise on my right hip and a very bloody (but nothing serious) elbow.

For now, the rain has stopped, but there's a 30% chance of rain tomorrow, and if Im reading the radar, it's more like 80% tonight and 70% tomorrow. I can hardly wait...
