Mid Week Hell

What a ride...

Went out for quick mid-week ride. But incorrectly picked the hottest day of the week, went out at 10:30, wind gusts at 21mph. Not a good mix of factors to create a successful ride.

The ride out was great, wind at back and cruzing along. However the once I made the turn it was full on wind in my face trying to force me to stop.. and stop I did a few times. I have never ridden in the wind nor wind and heat. It's a different animal all together. It just seems to zap your strength trying to push the pedals down while the wind tries to keep you back. Now if you add a hill into the equation = disaster. At one point was in gear 3 for a 21 speed. Haven't been in that gear since i got the bike.

All I can say is WOW.... WOW.... WOW

But hey now total miles is 233+ :)
