Well today I had to put my money where my mouth was....so to speak. Today we had temps at 70 degrees but winds steady at 30 and gusting to way over 40. I decided not to ride and say down to see what was on TV then this thread came to my mind and the things that I posted. So out I went to do a 30 mile loop. I had maybe my best ride of the year. It was just a beautiful day out. Riding along some deserted country roads watching the trees bowing over in the wind. Just something very relaxing about it.
