Saturday Windy Ride

It took all the willpower I could muster up to ride yesterday but I was determined to get out. Had a social function that started at 1 PM and I was going to ride afterwards. I was on the road at 4 PM and knew I would have an hour before sundown.

It was very windy earlier in the day, gusting to 30 with a steady breeze from the north at 15-25. No it was not going to be fun.

I planned to ride into the wind starting out and come home with the wind at my back.

All very well, until the wind died down as I made the turn for home, and I missed out on a screaming finish. Such is life on the road.
