Crazy storm this afternoon during my commute home. According to the local news and online weather, it was about 25-35 mph wind with gusts up to 45 mph. There was also a dust storm. It was so crazy that I had to drop down to the lowest couple of cogs from my middle chainring. I could actually see trees almost horizontal while I was riding, which was really scary, actually. The Phoenix area is reasonably flat so I almost never do that. I have an 18 mile route, one way, so needless to say I was spend when I got home. Must...sleep...now
