Salsa, no, i have a big yellow stripe up my back. I haven't ridden to work at all this week. Raleighdon on the other hand, is in Lake Forest Park tonight and plans to ride home... (sigh)
he may not ride tomorrow; (but he really wants to)
I'm not quite as nervous as you; but not interested in riding in heavy winds; not one little tiny bit.

God, Teigyr, what a great story. Nice to know luck flows in the right direction sometimes!

I've been watching the weather forecasts for a couple of days now and trying to get my site prepped for the rain that is supposed to go with the storm. We just put in something like 10 acres of plastic sheeting so now I'm envisioning all these 40'x200' kites all over the place.
To make matters more interesting, the General Contractor just put in a new tower crane. It's not tall enough to hit my trailer if it falls over so if it does so, it's just a bit of a show.re-cur-sion ri'-ker-shen n: see recursion

Since being blown over while racing a thunderstorm I've had a phobia of the slightest breeze.

Funny enough my husband intends to ride tomorrow just because the last time there was a storm he was just about stuck on the eastside..... He figures even if he has to walk his bike across the bridge its better than being in standstill traffic.....
We must be in a particularly sheltered area. Last year we didn't have any downed trees near us, we never lost our power (well we do live about 1/2 block from the substation) and I don't think there was any damage on our street either - it didn't eve seem that windy."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide
