yikes....That wind was nasty all the way in from Queens to manhattan - felt like I was dragging a boat anchor the whole way. (Hope the wind is still blowing that way this afternoon; I can put my feet up and coast all the way home!)

I usually over or under dress for the weather......This morning For once I was dressed perfectly - though by total accident. I overdressed, knowing it would be cold. I wore a long sleeve base, a windstopper fleece AND a soft shell rain jacket, which is fairly warm by itself. I thought I'd be sweltering, but as soon as I started rolling into that wind (and it was a headwind the entire ride - ugh!) I was glad for once that I overdid it!

I also rarely use my lower gears but today while climbing the QB Bridge I totally went to my lowest granny
(24x23) and STILL was barely moving! The wind really picked up as I hit the peak crest of the bridge.

On a positive note, at least all those huge buildings in midtown are good for something - namely, blocking the wind!!!
