Blowing in the wind !

Well the extreme heat and humidity rolled in for a few days and my rides got longer. But dang I wasn't liking the wind that came with the heat and humidity the other day. I didn't check the forecast the night before because I just assumed I'd have the same conditions as the last couple days. I had planned to pull out the old TT bike for this ride anyways and when I started my ride I knew it was going to be a fight into a headwind. It was a fun ride and I'm glad I went with the old girl, she's always fun to ride.

I don't like riding when it's really windy. I don't like the heat more. So, in the summer I welcome whatever wind I can get!
