I led that club ride. not much to report there, except for the guy that was supposed to lead the fast ride didn't show up. So I had to to get them squared away. I told my charges on a 21 mile jaunt and then set off to do some hill climbing. Unfortunately, the weather had changed and my route was having 25mph+ wind gusts I thought about turning back, but decided not to, I pressed on, but I did turn about 5 miles and 1,000 feet before I had plan Coming back was equally as challenging, I was 40-50mph without any difficulty, and the high winds made handling interesting. I stooped by Henry's for some Fair Trade coffee,and got some new tires at REI Before pedaling home
