It was pretty wild on the bike this morning. A strong front is crossing the coast this morning and while I missed the full force of it, I did have to battle a strong and gusty wind all the way to work. There’s the possibility of thunderstorms and even hail later today.
At one stage on my way to work a leaf was being blown directly towards my head. Once it got within a couple of metres of me it chucked a sharp right turn and blew just as hard in it’s new direction. As you can imagine, that kind of wind gust isn’t always helpful on a bike.
I made it to work alive – a little windswept – but alive.
I wonder what the journey home will be like.

Perhaps you could now say that you are windswept and interesting, as Billy Connolly would say.
Bruce, after those two days cycling in Victoria in 2003, I think I can cycle through anything.
careful out there!
The high plains of Texas are very windy. It’s not unusual to see 70mph winds in the spring. I feel your pain.
