I marked the calendar Thursday. It was in the 50s, partly sunny. I thought it would be just decent riding weather, nothing exceptional. But lo and behold, there was no wind. That happens about three times a year here. It felt like there was a wind at my back in every direction I traveled.
My trips to town and back are mostly all east/west. I feel lucky if the wind is blowing straight from the north or south about 10mph. That's usually as good as it gets. But these rare, truly calm days let me know how much a cross-wind ruins your slipstream. It was even nice riding without the motor (a little).
Moral of the story: wind sucks.
