*#(*!@&(& headwinds

Sixty miles on Saturday in a big loop. Question is, how did we get 5 miles of tailwinds, 10 miles of choppy crosswinds, and 45 miles of grit-in-your-teeth headwinds?

Now like every cyclist I know I make my own headwinds, but when I'm griding up a hill at 6mph I'm pretty sure very little of that 20mph headwind is of my own creation. That's OK, eating at the Champagne Bakery in Irvine made up for it. I had creme brulee followed by baguette and butter. Notice I had desert first ;-)

Perhaps the headwind was just punishment for my sin of gluttony. But it was so good.

I have a 200k brevet I'm riding/hosting on Saturday. Hope the weather is good.
