Holy Headwind

Dan and Chris were unavailable to ride today. So, I decided to take this opportunity to make my first trip up the mountain in months. It's was so windy, it was ridiculous. The last 3 or 4 months have been the windiest I ever recall for Tucson.

During my ride, today's wind seems to be either blowing directly in my face, or blowing me toward the edge of the road. Neither of which is pleasant. It is also good to note, that this is my first ride up Mt. Lemmon since getting my shiny new Felt F55. I was hoping to notice a difference in weight when climbing. But, I think the wind has negated any advantage I had hoped to enjoy. I made it to mile post two and considered it a job well done.

Return ride was fine, although I leaned on my breaks a bit. Going fast, downhill, with wind blowing you all over the place can be a little unsettling.

Back home and all is well. Time for a good Sunday breakfast to start the day.
