Wow.. was really windy this am. I mean Really Really windy. Was blowing down the hill at 35 or so and the wind was still blowing past me. Had to hang on to a light pole at a crossing to keep from being blown over. At one point I have to backtrack a couple blocks and headed into the wind...It completely stopped me. I ducked into a residental neighborhood to got some cover and it helped just a tad.

Was blown uphill the last couple of miles, and that was pretty cool. Had to keep the tumble weeds from gettin sucked into the spokes.

The last 4 blocks were crosswind, and I knew by the cloud of dirt and debris that it was going to be bad. Rode through with a good 20degree lean just to go straight. Then a huge gust blew me into the curb and I macked my pedal. As a last valant effort to take me down, the wind blasted me with a shower of pebbles... not sand or dust mind you, but large, painful, 50mph pebbles.

I stopped, shook my fist at the sky and said, "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT ?" then pulled into the parking lot at work.

Cow Orkers were in disbelief that my bike was in the cube today... I was too.
