Ride home for Wednesday, 30 March
The ride home was really windy - gusts of 80km/hr. Of course, it was all headwinds - I should have known my luck wasn't going to last. I ended up taking all the back roads wherever I could, so that (a) I could try to avoid some of the wind, and (b) be away from other traffic if I was hit by a bad gust. The worst part was on the fire trail, where I was on a slight downhill incline, but stuck in granny gear in first gear and unable to go any higher - if I'd had any lower gears I would have used them!
The winds are supposed to be a bit less tomorrow, and drop down to a rather more reasonable 20km/hr by the weekend. I suppose at least it's a sign that spring is here...
