We finally got some rain here in Milwaukee, enough to flood the parkway and I bet the Tosa Trails are crap too. I tried to ride out to Pewaukee lake yesterday but it was so frickin windy with gusts of wind up to 35MPH that nearly threw me off my bike. Even with the easiest gears, I tried to spin into the wind and found my cadence in the 50's and the watts in in the 200 range without doing much work but this made for a very difficult controlled ride and I had to wing it. When I wanted to spin fast I was going super slow, when I wanted to slow down, I would fly with the wind on my tail, fun but frustrating. I called it the YO-YO ride.
