Had I known, I might not have rode into work today...A real workout out..
Heading north against very strong headwinds for about 10 miles as I paralleled the I 15 corridor into Temecula..Radio reports said some gusts were up to 30 mph..All headwinds... It was like 10 miles of a 8 % up grade..Almost turned around a went home..Glad I didn't.....When I got to work, I ate like a horse..Soup, Cranraisins, and a nutri gran bar... BUt, it was almost 70 degrees, not bad...Headwinds caused me to average only 11 mph...Of the 26 miles, I was probably fighting winds for 13 miles..
See how the work out keeps me awake through the night..Big believer in recovery drinks, after a big workout..Feel good now.
Man, winds can be strong here, when taking on certain passes.
