They were so powerful, I had a difficult time just to stay on the bike. The crosswinds were generally coming from the west, but they would sort of mix around and blast me from all sides once in a while. Going downhill was just too scary for me -- I rode the brakes a lot yesterday!!
I kept feeling off balance, like something was literally on my back -- I even swerved a number of times trying to get my centre of gravity back. It was only when I finally arrived back home that I saw who the culprit was....

Love the photo! I can just see Peanut hanging for dear life, enjoying the ride, and thinking, "Wow, have I ever got this human well trained!"
You should get a T shirt made that says, Queen of biking in the wind!

You're too funny! I've been in that wind - it's all year round too! We had a friend from england with us in December and stopped by at the Pass - her phrase was "Who on earth would want to live here" - to which I responded my good friend julie lives around the corner and bikes round here - Nicole had serious respect for you Julie!....:)
