Karen (Kano),
I must say I always enjoy reading your postings. They always make me laugh! I can relate to the winds changing direction by which way you are riding! Is it only Idaho that this strange thing happens. When I ride in the great outdoors here in SE Idaho I get the head wind going both directions. The wind gods are out to get us roadies!

By the way, it sounds like you have really picked up the miles and are riding strong! Congratulations I don't believe you can call yourself a newbie anymore !
