It was crazy. At one point I'm coming down an 8% grade and hitting 15. Then a gust almost stopped me in my tracks.
We saw a tree that blew down into the road. Palms were doing crazy dances. Large metal signs were swinging madly. There were debris blowing across the roads like scurrying insects.

But it was oddly and inexplicably fun. Maybe just that we lived through it makes it good.
It was pretty!

Garmin, with smoothing in Ascent say 6024 climbing. I wish it recorded wind.
