Wind A-Comin' 💨
I hear tell that we’ve got wind a-comin’. By Friday night, it’s really going to be blowing!
Gusts could reach 40 — yes. that’s FORTY — mph! That’s enough to blow me right off the levee; so it looks like I may have to skip the ride.
A set of “cat ears” would be nice to have with that wind a-comin’; as it is, wind whistling around my helmet’s straps is uncomfortable for my hearing.
Forecasts can always change, though; and I hope this one changes!
Tire Liners 🛞
I’ve gotten tire liners for the road bike; so a tire repair kit isn’t a top priority. I know what to do to change a tube; but doing it is another matter. At best, I’m all thumbs at it.
At the bike shop, I mentioned that riding the road bike seems to tire my legs more than riding the hybrid. They said it does, because I’m using my muscles in a different way. My perception that I need a different kind of legs for said road bike is accurate!
Now if only I had the legs to fight a 40-mph wind!
