There's nothing like a little wind to slap you around and show you you're not in great shape after all. Jeez!! Finally a nice day and I get out all excited for a nice long ride. I took a new route today because there are just too many people on the trails on the weekend.

Every way I turned the wind seemed to turn with me, which was really against me. This route also had more hills than I'm used to and I had to stop twice (at the top of the hills) to catch my breath. Normally I cruise at 17-18 mph and today in the wind I had trouble keeping up to 13 mph--I felt like a wimp! It's ok, next time I do this ride I'll be more prepared...
