at least the rides home have been exciting! and it is kinda cool when lake michigan gets all crazy and violent. this strong NE wind pattern is supposed to stick around for one more day at least.
Those were some seriously crazy headwinds eh?! I was hating that riding in to work but man the zipping home with that tailwind was a blast! I came around the curve at Oak Street day before yesterday and a huge wave rolled up the path and next thing I know I'm rolling through three inches of water with no fenders. Soaked my legs, shoes, and fresh clean socks! Then, the speed sensor on my Cateye CD R220 craps out. Maybe those sensors really *aren't* waterproof? Anyway, Cateye is sending a new set of sensor leads out - until then I'll be running my old Cateye Strada to get my speed data for the ol' commute and training rides. Man, those winds though! Crazy!
