tricky wind

it must be either spring of fall - my guess is fall since october is next month - because the wind is cranking it up a notch. it was downright blustery this morning - not quite as much so as the day owl's treehouse was knocked over with piglet and pooh aboard, but close.

the wind wasn't exactly cooperative this morning either. it was kind of crafty and sly - not really southwest, but not exactly southeast. when i looked at the weatherlab before heading out it was mostly southwest, so i headed west.

as i left the driveway, i decided the best thing to do on a day like this was to spin a bit. i wasn't going to get much speed anyway. i rode to through danville and beyond - just a mile beyond, mind you - then turned and headed back home. that's when the trickiness of the wind came into play. sometimes it was helping. sometimes not. mostly not it seemed to me.

so i made it back. i suppose you figured that out. the wind is still blowing. will be all day i suppose. this is kansas in the fall - i think. (18.02 miles @ 16.5mph)
