Just a bit windy


When the wind blows, it blows hard.
Yesterday afternoon I went out for a spin and encountered a 20+mph headwind. This made for a very good low cadence-Hi wattage workout for the first 3/4 of the ride. the last quarter was spent at Hi wattage-Hi speed as I zipped along at 40-45 mph. Too bad there wasn't a TT here today, there would have been an all time wind aided record set for sure. Worst part of all this wind is how it sounds at home with every window and vent creaking and moaning while getting pounded. Wind Lesson#1: always park into the wind so that you don't lose your doors when opening.
