| At Zuzax on Old Route 66 |
Uhh, that's as in YEARS, not Miles Per Hour....
I had an old fart birthday yesterday and was too busy to stay healthy so I failed to get in a bike ride. Today, however, I got going earlier, and thus was able to get in a few wonderful miles.
For some odd reason, probably due to Global Cooling, the windy spring weather here has continued far past March and April and continues almost daily into late May as we speak. However, if we didn't ride or go outside because of blustery winds, we'd NEVER get any exercise......
One thing about our hilly routes around here: We get headwinds and cross-winds in all directions but we also get relief at times by going through juniper forests blocking some of the wind as well as places like Gutierrez Canyon with box canyon walls that block much of the wind and have precious little traffic, making for a very ride of several miles until you break out at the top of the canyon.
I had mistakenly left home with only one water bottle and was getting low, so I stopped at Paul N5DBB's house for a water refill and a short but enjoyable visit, as usual. The howling winds actually helped push me UP the hill through Gutierrez Canyon, so that didn't hurt my feelings at all.
