Tarwheel and wind, wind, wind…

  Tarwheel and wind, wind, wind… Tarwheel and it strong winds and flat roads are three weeks in the rear-view mirror.  Time flies when you are having fun.  Tarwheel was so much harder than I expected it to be.  It was not the distance.  The distance I can do.  It was the wind.  14/15 mph head winds.  I guess that is what happens on the East Coast.  The winds come off the Atlantic and swirl.   I talked to a co-worker about this after the event.  I said it didn’t matter which way I went I got hit in the face with a 15-mph wind.  He was like yes, that is how the coast is.  I sort of wish I would have known that.  It is something I will remember as I look for rides along the rest of the original 13.  I will be looking for lots of tree cover, and or some ups and downs.   Look the weekend itself was great! I can’t complain.  ...
