I Thought WE had it Bad....

This was Minneapolis on Monday.

It was a blast furnace: sweltering, muggy and windy to beat hell. But, South Dakota always wins the wind contest hands-down...be sure to look at the sustained wind speeds: The Life and Times of Biking Brady: Conditions Even I Won't Ride In

- OB goes back now and again and doesn't often bring the bicycle!

Hmm, it's still chilly in Las Vegas, but windy, too. Ninety four in May? That seems just unjust!

Much like us yesterday, I notice your "Feels like" temp was one degree cooler than actual. Didn't you just FEEL the windchill?

{Ah, come on, OB! You know there's no such thing as global climate change! Right? Some liberal must have made this up.} I foolishly rode on Sunday in wind conditions similar to this--my face is peeling from the sandblasting it got. At least it's not sunburned as well!

Yes, that one-degree windchill made things bearable!

We're back to normal today -- whew.

That bikingbrady can be such a wuss. He only rode 10,000 miles a few years back :O I see 60+ winds projected in South Dakota this weekend. I am thinking I would like to try it just to see if I can keep my bike upright.
