Didn't have to go anywhere today, but rode a 72 mile trip yesterday to my friend's house. I hauled a ton of tools on my X-check to get his bike road worthy. It was really windy, gusts up to ~45 mph. At one portion, the wind was with me and I was moving ~27 mph. A car was slowly overtaking me on the left and tried to turn into a lot, right through me... I slammed on the brakes and ended hitting his side going almost parallel to the car at 5-7 mph. I'm fine; his car has a scratch from my panier. The kid claimed he didn't see me. Besides that minor accident, the ride was great.
