I rode in the MDA Challenge ride in the Clearwater area on Sunday. A good part of our ride was done on the beaches. I can tell you the wind was a bit more formidable there as there was nothing to block it out as it came in from the NW off the Gulf. Not really a fun ride solo into a 15-20 mph wind, even when it is flat. Of course the second half of the ride was into the wind, always seems to work that way.

I was thinking about the Horrible Hundred and was glad I wasn't there, but it sounds like the wind wasn't as much of a factor in the middle of the state.
