wind advisory in effect

i woke up to a wind advisory flashing at in my computer task bar. what does that mean? in the weather service's own words: "winds of 25 to 35mph with gusts to 45mph will occur." the advisory is in effect from 9:00 this morning until 6:00 tonight. i decided an early morning (before 9:00) ride was in order. i called and got someone to cover for me on ems for an hour and a half, dressed quickly and got on the road by 7:20. i rode out ten miles at 13.9mph. turned around and raced back. i got back to town earlier than i expected, so i added two miles by riding north on argonia road for a mile and then heading home. and that's about it for today. got to get to work. (22.01 miles @ 16.1mph)
