blown away

Finally got the headset fixed the correct way. Thanks to Darryl at Adam's. So I was able to get out on the levee today. A nice cool front blew threw last night but the wind is still with us. Beautiful day on tap. I knew the wind would really be kicking once up on the levee. There is no protection from it out there. Riding along the stretch that takes you along Leake Ave, I saw speeds of 13 to 14 and that was tough to maintain. I actually passed a commuter going my way and I thought he was pedalling in place. All I could think is that this will feel really good on the way home.
Made it out to the country club and turned around with John as he was heading home early. I kept it steady with a nice head/crosswind and John stayed on my wheel. Met Joe as he was heading out at the stable so I turned around with him and we had a good ride back to the country club where we witnessed the earlier group come flying around the bend. They must have been going over 30 but I knew they would be slowing fast. I told Joe we should get on Donald's wheel. I made the Uey in time but Joe ended up getting in D's way and heard him yelling. I knew Joe couldn't get on so I waited for him and pulled him all the way home. All in all I was just glad to ride on a gorgeous day.
