Wetness

Yep, as RF stated, not the best off-road conditions of late. So now you know why a got a road bike bike instead of the Fat Possum. I had a erie feeling that this summer is going to be wet. The Farmers Almanac even says so.

I begged Anne to drive me to Kansas so I could ride home with a huge tailwind but she wasn't having it. So we got out on the blvd instead. Gnarly wind. Nothing beats the blvd south to the Keystone and then blasting home on the trail with a massive tail wind.

Tomorrow looks perfect, 50's, 5-10 wind and NO RAIN!!!

Yeah I went to the south end of it with roxy, super slow going. but when we turned around we went all the way up north on the trail, big ring big fun, supafast. Props to you for gettin the miles in on such a windy day. 5 weeks til transIA..... Keep your fingers crossed for westerly winds that day!

We saw a ton of people walking their bikes on the Keystone. I felt bad flying by them with a massive tailwind.

I was stoked to see folks out on their bikes though.

Today should be perfect.
