Bikes: 96 gary fisher 'utopia' : 99 Softride 'Norwester'(for sale), 1972 Raleigh Twenty. Surly 1x1 converted to 1x8, 96 Turner Burner

Started outside of Westerville and rode the first leg of TOSRV to Circleville and back. 93 miles. The weather was good. The wind was not. West/SW at 20-25mph. With gusts +30. The winds were'nt as bad in the morning. They got stronger in the afternoon. I could'nt imagine how they were the whole way to Portsmouth. Coming back to Columbus I thought we'd have a nice tailwind. But at times it turned to a brutal crosswind. Especially when we had to head west at times. Getting beat up by a 30+mph headwind takes the fun out of things. Picked up the Bikepath at the Whittier Peninsula and headed home weatherbeaten and tired.

... I'd like to hear how the trip was on Saturday heading to Portsmouth.
