There are windy rides and there are WINDY rides. We have been spoiled in San Francisco for the past week or so with warm, sunny and mildly windy weather. Well, the wind returned with a vengeance today. It's been a long time since it was this windy. The wind was blowing gusts of 25-35 mph. That would explain why people were off their bikes going up the hill from Sausalito. It is days like this where low body weight + low bike weight = giant billowing sail. It was a challenge staying upright. Unfortunately, the wind turns fairly basic training rides into massive resistance workouts. My poor legs!
