Well…I did try to ride outdoors today and got out about 8:30 or so…but, the wind was blowing pretty good…about 15 that I could feel after I just turned the corner out of the alley….when I got to the point, it was blowing around 20 and that was just too brutal…so I turned around and came back after only three miles or so and decided to mow the lawn instead.
