Gee, Catrin, how did you know I've done that ride 4 times and it's notorious for the ole north, south, east, west wind. You know, the kind you can never turn out of and get to your back??? It had stormed that morning before the ride so the first 30 miles were great but then the front moved through and we turned dead into a 17 mph wind and the next 30 miles were brutal. Thank goodness I could keep up with the guys and let them pull. I'm usually out there by my lonesome fighting it and that's an awful place to be. We turned back into town the last 5 miles and had the wind to our backs and it was so pleasant
