Windblown

I went out for a smallish ride yesterday morning.  As advertised, there were 25-35mph winds howling out of the west.  I spent over an hour pushing into that gale.  At times I was pressed to move forward any faster than 8mph (on flat ground!).   The payback was the turnaround point.  Coming back home with the monster tailwind I regularly saw speeds between 25 and 30 and hit 35 two separate times (again, on flat ground).   A very interesting ride.
