I set out on what I intended to be 105 miles Sunday. Unfortunately, the first 50 were into to teeth of what the weather guys called "15-25MPH with gusts to 35MPH" wind. After about 25 miles, I decided I wasn't having much fun & turned it around.

Fleeing back with the wind helping was a blast. I was near my max spin rate in my higest gear (something I normally only acheive on the steepest downhills where I live) and flying!
