I rode in to work this morning, the weather was nice a little cloudy but no rain forecasted, NOW the wind if blowing like crazy, I need my seat belt for the ride home probably

Imagine the witch in the wizard of oz da ta da ta da da---- remember the music that plays when she is riding away????

Maybe humming it while you're riding home will lend some humor and fun to the situation!!!

Be careful!!!! and don't be afraid to call for a ride...nobody will hold it against you

You're in the DC Metro area, no? I played hookey from work today and rode this morning. Whew, haven't encountered winds like this since last April or so!! The saving grace was it helped counterbalance the humidity and warm temps. Never fear, as I think the winds are going to subside later today, bringing in some excellent weather for the holiday weekend!!

Here in Birmingham, AL, yesterday! You're getting what didn't get us!

Trigurl, be sure to take some flying monkeys to guard you!

That witch on the bike used to scare me to death when i was a kiddo.

In her best cackle..... "I'll get you my pretty.... and your little dog too!!!"

We had a lot of wind and rain yesterday as well and it' GORGEOUS today. I hope I get home in time to ride. I may try to ride to my son's to baby sit tomorrow if the weather holds and I find some new batteries for my headlight.

I didn't get the nick NIGHTMARE for nothing BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

yikes be careful and ride slow! Getting ina cross wind can really blow you all over the road... we had Santa Ana conditions here this weekend and it was bad too.... really blew me around... I gave up after 9 miles and turned around for home... just not worth the risk of crashing in it!

I am actually in Roanoke VA, I sure hope the wind dies down soon, that would be nice, it's very gusty not a constant wind. I am riding to the local track to meet my buddy to run, if it is still bad I may have her give me a ride to my car!

I filled up my car today, first time since the 14th

I had only driven 201 miles thanks to several days of biking to work, I still had over 1/2 a tank too! (it cost $20 for 8 gallons

)

I did cheat tho, I drove b/f's truck to get groceries Friday

he bought his dad's truck and I haven't driven it yet so I thought I would try it out, besides I needed horse feed and a salt block (50#) I needed a truck
