The weather said there would be 25 to 35mph winds today and 45mph gusts in the foothills. Now I could have trained in the basement but the sun was out and it was cold. So I threw on 3 layers of T-Shirts and my Jacket and headed out. Holy Moly! The first mile sent of alarms as it was hard to peddle forwards into the wind.
I decided to take a different route to get the 16 miles in. Stay on the trails as much as I can as I didn't want a gust blowing me in front of a car. By the time I was at the top of the hill on the south side of Stadley Lake I could hardly peddle at all.
At this point I turned round. 37 mph down hill and feeling like I would get pushed over the handle bars. I was very windy.
I eventually got home and my legs were Jelly and my average speed was only 12mph. I did get the cycle in though!
I let a goal in as I couldn't make my legs work correctly at soccer.
Oh yeah I lost a pound of weight.
