Actually, I hope the winds die down soon. I'm starting my ride from MN to NE on the 7th, and I'm scared to death it will be headwinds and rain all the way.
I'll deal, but lovely May weather would be SO nice...
And mirrors. I have a pair on my bar ends. I no longer can live without them. Even walking, I find I look right there to check out what's coming up behind.
Mirrors are probably a lot like saddles, though. What works for me could easily drive anyone else off the edge.

Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

So, Corsair, how did you fare in the wind?
Here the wind went away, leaving snow
in its place. OK, it wasn't much snow, and it didn't stick at all, But Still. 
Hope you got home in one piece - or are you in Oz now?Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
