Day 27. What to do when the wind is against you.

I spent about an hour yesterday mapping out the next four days of riding to Sioux City, which is my next rest day. I did all this based upon the wind forecast. Let's just say today the route went out the window along with the wind forecast. I did try to twice to bike into 25 - 33 mph headwinds but really you go so slow it's almost worth it to head back have another breakfast so I did that..... twice and then decided to change my route. I also got to poke around some old abandoned houses while waiting for the wind shift directions the second part for the ride. I do hope and pray that the next two days the winds are doing what they're supposed to do because I have 70-plus miles to go those days we shall see. BTW, do not go into abandoned buildings!

  1. Explain more...why do you recommend to stay out of abandoned buildings!?

    I sure hope the wind turns around for you! : )

  2. Yes, why not go into abandoned buildings with gusto? Maybe it's the rats, ghosts and spiders? I know the pain of wind, one of the few natural things that makes me cry with frustration. I hope it lightens up.

  3. After every headwind there is a tailwind :) as for the warning. 100% legality issue.
