That's lame of them, especially this time of year.

I was out at Haines on Saturday trying to do a mock TT. The winds were so bad out there by the last stretch, I was struggling to go over 12mph. I wasn't sure I was going to stay upright.

Way more brutal on Monday out here with the hills. I've never had to stop for so many snack breaks.

The tailwind on Mon. on the approx 5 mile gradual descent was amazing. Usually cruise in the lower 20s. Hit the low 30s for a bit this time . Just about made up for the suffering in the gradual climb and 40+ gusts (mostly headwinds and a few scary crosswinds) at miles 45-47. I almost fell off the bike at the end...barely enough coordination left to dismount.


The forecast keeps changing, but the forecast out here looks decent for Saturday. Warmish but cloudy. Anyone want to come out here for a ride?
