You know it's windy when I start channeling Johnny Rotten! "Anarchy in the UK" was playing in my head for the entire ride.

The crosswind gusts were kind of scary. It was really all I could do to stay upright. I felt like I was listing sideways, as in at an angle to the ground. The tailwind was fun, and lucky for me, it was working its magic on the uphills.

I did my short ride, which usually takes me an hour and ten minutes, in just an hour. I was flying.

As fun as it sounds, it was kind of an awful ride. I got a face full of blowing sand, which luckily missed my eyes. The fear of falling over was a bit much. But, I'm glad I went.

How was your ride?
