Yeah, it was Windy but Who Cares

Today's Partial Tracking

The faithful travel-buddy Jazzy and I rode up to the Post Office today and then decided to add our usual 10-mile loop to the end since it was such a beautiful day.
Well, it was beautiful for a few miles, but then it got a bit breezy so to speak.  Going west it was hittiing  us pretty strong in our faces, then going east again from the Post Office it was again hitting us strongly in the face.  Then when we got to the easternmost end of the loop at Mountain Valley Road and Entranosa, the wind seemed to change direction AGAIN and hit us crosswise in our faces instead of just directly head on.
Sigh.  It really wasn't all that bad but it DOES suck when you have to pedal hard DOWNHILL to keep your speed up.
No thrilling video today to suffer through.  I recorded the entire trip, except for a mile or so where the battery went dead and I switched it out and forgot to turn the camera on again.  Howsomever, NOTHING interesting happened.  Well, except for the bike ride itself, which is interesting even when it's boring.
We only encountered one other cyclist headed the other way and I didn't recognize him.....
