Smith Cove. I've not seen waves, small as they were, crashing on the shore before. Driven by south wind.
Major train yard/switching station.
Hope it is not a MAX!
I test my endurance with the thought that *IF* I could easily have a trouble free route with the scenery that you happen to have, then high headwinds would have to break into the +30 MPH range before I consider backpedaling the
out
door ride.
Seeing how that isn't the case, I have to really justify a ride if the conditions contain the following: +20 MPH headwinds, winter temps, & slick leaves covering moon-like surfaces.
