Windy Weekend

It was quite the windy weekend. What was done to celebrate? Bike rides of course! Saturday three (3) of us, including thE kErnEl, headed south into the twenty mile per hour (20 MPH) headwind. Much effort later, we arrived in Canton. A visit to Dairy Queen and we were turned around headed back with an equally strong tailwind.

Sunday the winds were about half of Saturday's. The winds also switched direction. Saturday we pointed bikes west, into the wind, headed for Humboldt. Much effort later, we arrived, had a snack, and turned around and headed back.

I elected to turn the windy days into training days. I opted to ride the single (1) speed. At seventy-two (72) gear-inches, Saturday was work. At least for the ride into the wind. The largish saddlebags grabbed their share of headwinds.

In other noise, I think my rims are due in the end of the week. I hope to spend some of next weekend building wheels for the touring rig.

Ride On.
