My God...The Wind!

 So far this week the wind has been ridiculous.  Both days had sustained winds at 20 mph with much higher gusts.  Monday hit 70 degrees, while Tuesday didn't hit 40.  Spring can move along anytime.  

I rode a couple hours both days.  Monday was much more comfortable as the temperature was climbing.  Tuesday had a feels like temp of 16.  My hands froze, then hurt, most of the ride.  Tuesday was also windier.  It was comical at times how slow I was going into the headwind.  Even with gears I was spinning out on the way home.  Grind and spin kind of ride.

It's the coldest morning yet this week with a 14 mph NW wind.  I'm on the fence about riding.  If I do ride I'll do the Rice Loop.  Tomorrow the temperatures start to rebound and the winds subside some.  The weekend is looking phenomenal at the moment.  

To ride or not to ride?!
