I had 45 miles logged for the night and in this wind it was nothing short of brutal. The last check I saw prior to ride showed sustained winds between 18 to 29 mphs...it sure felt like it. Much worse than the last time we rode in the wind.
My good friend Andy Prest came out for the ride and Amy and Melinda were with as well. We traded off and made our way south to Maple Grove via the many roads out west...I got a bit turned around.
By the time we were heading east to Maple Grove - the rain started...felt hail...rained sideways...pelting and painful yet we had to get back to the shop....Once we passed Melinda's home Prest and I had the wind more or less at our backs and we jammed hard to get home...once at the parking lot of the shop it stopped raining - go figure.
this was a lesson tonight in riding in adverse conditions for sure. Great Job Amy, Melinda and Prest - you guys earned the non-existent but should be created - A-Team award!
