Well…got two rides in this morning but it was just brutal going into the 20mph+ wind and it gusted so hard on the point that it almost stopped me dead in my tracks…I think I may have injured my right thigh from it, too, since it now hurts just sitting here…and it was cold enough that I needed gloves and double socks to make it bearable…it was only 48 when I went out at 8:15 and it had not really warmed up much for the second ride…a finger on my left hand was white from it and it took about 20 minutes to get the feeling back in it…but I think part of that is just my hands doing what they do every day and getting numb after 25 miles or so…I really did think about abandoning the second ride but kept slogging forward until I got past the point and then the trail was a little sheltered from the NW wind…and that made the ride back a top gear sprint all the way from the beach and that was fun…but now I just want to sit here and stay warm…and maybe find a political topic for later…who knows?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
