Winds of Change

We've all experienced the wind on runs, bike rides, etc. but often we can't quantify its true impact.  Well, yesterday provided a clear opportunity.  The plan was an out-and-back route north to Lavon.  The winds?  They averaged 20mph from the South at that time with gusts much higher.  I hit the lap button to mark some key points.  Check out these splits:

Split	Time	Distance	Speed	Direction
1	24:49.38	8.43	20.4	north
2	17:13.14	5.10	17.8	north and east
3	21:00.35	5.19	14.8	south and west
4	40:01.75	8.38	12.6	south
TOTAL	1:43:04.62	27.11	15.8

Unfortunately, there is no end in sight for these winds.  The winds and random thunderstorms are definitely threatening next weekend's BikeMS.
