Tri Girl- Wow! I remember when I lived in eastern Kansas that it was the same way-pretty windy all the time, and when the wind stopped everyone looked up to see if a storm was coming! 40 mph winds...you were awesome for even trying!
Thanks for the words of encouragement...I was determined to get home no matter what. Sort of a silly matter of pride thing. DH is an ex jock sports dude (baseball and soccer)type of guy (me-the opposite...bookish and pretty uncoordinated)....he supports my biking at every turn but I think part of me just really wanted to show him that I am serious. Silly I know, but I wanted to say that I made it.
