It was pretty windy here in the northeast too - but I don't think we can compete with your winds! I was out late Sunday afternoon after the wind very nicely dried out the roads following an epic weekend of water falling from the sky, and when I first turned out onto the road I was moving so slowly I thought there was something wrong with me! Nope, just the wind. Luckily I headed into the wind to start...

I remember one day on my Hawaii tour - I was heading up Kohala Mountain Road when a sidewind pushed me all of the way across the road! Luckily there were no cars in sight at the time. I'd like to think I would have been smart enough to deliberately lay the bike down rather than get blown into traffic, but I don't know if I would have had the time to pull that off.

I've got to hand it to you midwest gals for fighting with that wind!
