Starting out on my ride today, the wind seemed rather chilly. But as I climbed the four mile climb, it disappeared and let me sweat out the climb. Boy was it hot! I would have given anything for a breeze during that climb. Reached the summit and went into a scary descent (ok, I'm a downhill chicken ) It was ten percent grades with a sharp dropoff on the side. That's when the breeze decided to come back as a gusty crosswind! Nothing like getting blown sideways into traffic when you're doing 40 to 50 mph! Then it was back to the flats where the wind decides it would be fun to become a stiff headwind. Got much more of a workout today than expected, all thanks to the wind.
