This weekend was filled with miles. Today has been full on ride hangover status. The coffee wasn’t strong enough all day. On the other hand I did eat a lot of really great food and didn’t feel the slightest bit bad about it.

So, it wasn’t that the miles were way up there (90 total if I leave off random bike errands) so much as the wind was blasting to the max. Day one of two I stuck primarily to the hills hoping they would block the wind. They did for the most part and gave me some solid morning rays to wake up too. Day two was FULL SPEED AHEAD with wind gusts, hard efforts, and slow rolling the entire time. Days like that test every ounce of my patience. Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean its not fun. With that said, when I battle headwinds for hours on end relentlessly, I tend to start giving the wind a middle finger. It happens. But… at the end of the ride I always have a smile on my face.

Here’s a few shots from my excursions. I hope you had an equally eventful weekend.
