Just my usual commute route today, + and extension downtown and back. Headwinds in the morning made the hills to work more exercize than usual. Then wun'cha know it, when I was headed home the winds had turned and I had headwinds downhill too. Full gale. Strong enough that at the bottom of the longest, steepest hill instead of whizzing down full tilt I felt like I was being blown backwards uphill again. And when I turned and got side winds I was being buffeted sideways. But I made it downtown in one piece. Finally, when I headed home, the winds had stopped. Of course, that meant that the storm center was parked right overhead. Rain. Good thing I always carry rain gear, acclimatized Norwegian that I am.
