26 mph winds?

Last night Brett (a friend of mine) and I decided to go biking - we've been talking about it for a while and he's been interested in doing it. So, we managed to pick the windiest spring day thus far (or it felt like it anyway).

The wind was blowing steady at 26 mph but was gusting up to 32 mph. Are you kidding me?

What a lousy kind of day to ride with someone new to cycling. I promised it wasn't always so tough and after about 3 miles of getting almost blown down we turned around and rode home...the ride home was nice as we had the wind behind us!

We've agreed to try this again on a calmer day!

Happy Riding!
