30 mph wind = no century ride
Yesterday (Sunday) I had planned to do my century ride (100 mile ride). I had mapped out a route on my GPS (which mounts to the handlebars), stocked up on energy bars and "Gu", and was looking forward to 8-10 hours of pedaling.
It was windy. Very windy. I was struggling to go 10 mph on the flats (which is ridiculous). A couple of times I almost got blown into the ditch. After 10 miles of that I said "screw this, I'm going home" and rode back.
At least I got 20 miles out of the day :)
Maybe next weekend!
