Absurdly Windy Route

Absolutely brutal ride! With all of the wind, I felt as though I was climbing the entire ride. I had ambitious plans to climb the south side of Suncrest on this ride, but... no dice. There were many points on this ride where I was giving 100% effort, tucked as low as could over the bike, leaning as far to the side to keep the bike on the road, all with a max speed of 7.6mph! Absolutely ridiculous! I limped home, sobbed on the front room floor, and got in the shower to wash off my efforts of futility.
Awesome weekend workouts on the bike. You covered over 100 miles and battled the elements. To you this may be normal. To the rest of us this is amazing. Keep it up.

I don't have the hills you have but I remember a ride once where I was facing 26 mph winds for about 10 miles I needed to go to get home. I pedaled about 3 of them, pulled over, and called the wife to bring the truck. I'm a wimp on the bike. If I see wind over 12 mph thats gonna hit my face, I don't ride the road bike, I grab the mountain bike and hit the woods. Great job!

Thanks, guys. I'd like to say I won't ride when it's this windy again... but I've said it before... and I did it again. :)
