We rode out with the wind nearly at our back so coming back...headwinds almost the whole way back. Not fun at all. I guess I should be thankful we were able to ride though.

Hope the snow doesn't last toooooo long! You've gotta get out there & ride that fast machine!
Ooh, your winds sound awful. When we get cross-winds like that I stay home. Because of where we live it's hard to go East and we can't go west without hitting Lake MI. When we have strong winds from either direction I tend to bail. It's just too difficult to stay upright when it gusts. Stay safe with your new beauty.

Yep, I hope I can get out soon, too...but it's not looking likely for a while. Even if the snow all melts and leaves clear pavement it will be covered in salt and sand. I don't know that I want to get that all over my bike if it's avoidable.
