However, there was a whale of a headwind for 1/2 my ride, enough that the weather services noted it (20-30 mph). I am a big girl and there were gusts that shook me and Fatty Lumpkin.
Well, it's 88 right now in Salt Lake, and the winds have subsided quite a bit. They blew all night and were quite strong this morning and all I could think was how dry it was going to make everything and that somewhere, there was a nasty headwind. Guess that would be where you were! Ahhhhh...life in the desert.

I did a short ride that was supposed to be a longer ride but ended up being a tootle because I'm still not recovered from Saturday (and I just didn't have it in me). I rode up to the old Children's "Development Center" (a neat old but run down and fenced off building) as I'd never really been up there. It's more dilapidated than it looks from a distance. Great place for birds to nest. And I rode thru the cemetery and tried to find new ways to navigate the University (the U is the hardest part of town to ride a bike through...makes no sense to me).
