The Worst Type of Wind

May 3, 2010,

I read the other day the worst type of wind to ride in was a cross wind. I never realized that till today.I rode at noon since it was raining early in the day. The wind was out of the West South West. No problem I thought. It really was a west wind with a slight south bias. I rode south and then turned and rode north. Wind was probably a 15 mile an hour wind with gusts. I literally had to hold on to control the bike and keep from getting blown over. It is harder to ride with a cross wind than a wind into your face. There is no doubt that with strong winds I will have to ride inland. The winds on the shore are just to strong with nothing blocking them.

I had my second fall today. Please do not laugh while reading this. I was going to a port a john to piss. The bike had just about stopped. I detached my right leg from the peddle. The bike came to a stop and I realize my left left was still attached. Before I could unlock my shoe my body started falling to that side and down I went. Very embarrassing. No damage done to my body just my ego.
