Bee Lady will appreciate what it means that I road today. I don't usually bother to enter my commutes in the daily ride thread, but today I earned kudos for riding at all. We had 25 mph winds from the NNW, the exact direction of my commute in to work. It was so strong I could barely keep my bike upright, espcecially in the cross winds. At one point I was so scared I was gonna fall over into traffic I phoned my husband for a ride, but he said, just lean into the wind and it worked. At one point I glanced at my speedometer, and noticed I was going 9.4 mph...... downhill directly into the wind gusts. Well, at least I tweaked my bike handling skills today!
