Thanks again to Dana who chose the pic. I mentioned earlier it would probably be windy too and it bloody is. It's been blowing a gale with strong gusts not very safe at all. Good day for fixing tubes, bike adjustments etc etc - now all I got to do is find someone that can do it.  Whoa and a picture too (not my real image). Thanks again to Dana who chose the pic.

The (*^&ing wind. I've been enjoying nice light breezes all summer. It's been wonderful. Why is it wonderful? Because last year I got blown off my road *AND* mountain bikes by 50+mph winds here in the Front Range. And I'm not a 110lbs woman either as you can now verify for the other readers. I hearby request that winter step back and wait for at least the time change before blowing me off my bike again. That would be awesome. Otherwise I'll have to eat struddel everyday from now until next summer so that I weigh enough not to get blown off the road. Hmmm so that's how Ulrich does it. Oh look, the flags are nearly being blown off the flagpoles outside today. &(*^(*& -Unofficial member #2 of the bring back fall club You know what else I’m not ready for Eldon? The (*^&ing wind.

A gloriously productive 5 minutes when my 14 going on 23 year old daughter actually holds a conversation with me and all sorts of wonderful things happen. Thanks Dana. FC you did exactly the right thing. I agree with you entirely stay home and eat trifle. Let one rip and go to bed early. Tomorrow is another day and it will probably be really windy as well as snowing etc. Or maybe the sun will shine, the birds will be singing and thorn proof tubes really will be thorn proof. Send your weather our way. Here in Sth Oz we have just had the driest winter on record and are looking at serious water restrictions - probably be limited to only carrying one biddon. It's all doom and gloom and my Football team has just lost one game away from the equivalent of your Superbowl. But I can't complain - no one listens. Look look my name my name.

THAT MEANS IT'S GOING AWAY--it's supposed to be comforting. Think of it this way: all of those sandy, dirty, dusty trails will now be slightly moist and hardpacked, so you don't have to inhale them as well as riding them. That's got to count for something.

I agree, your weather sucks.  Mine on the other hand is an almost tropical early summer.  It's exactly 80 f'nheit at 2pm with a mild breeze blowing off the ocean (tail wind for the home stretch of a 40 mile ride (sorry, I couldn't resist that last bit (or the first bit))).  The only reason I wore an undershirt on today's ride was because the people I was riding with have a very broad interpretation of a straight line.  It's not exactly body armour, but it stops a good proportion of road rash in the event of an unscheduled dismounting at the hands of the gumbies.
