Cycle Ti Thunder

Today's ride was a learning experience as usual. Velominati Rule Rule #5// Harden The Fuck Up . With 15 to 25 mile an hour winds from the NW it was a tough ride for me keeping up with the race team. The route stated out going north and then turned directly into the wind.  Today I lasted about 30 miles before I was really wiped out.  Well not really wiped out, just wiped out enough to know that if I was going to ride anymore miles I was going to have to slow down.
