Oy Vey! The Wind!
We don't have hills to climb in South Florida, unless you count the Key Biscayne Bridge, but we do have wind. In spite of the predictions of 20 mph winds with gusts to 30, off we went this morning. It was like eating dessert first and then being faced with a plate of lima beans. We ride about 20 miles south of us to have breakfast at the only Rexall Drug Store around. They still have booths as well as counter service. After breakfast we knew what was coming--wind from the ENE. Just the direction we had to go to return home. At one point, heading straight east, I thought I was actually moving backward. Home safe and sound, no worse for the experience, but glad we went. I'm not sure if this is just a front moving through or if our weather is being effected by Ida, but this type of wind is not unusual in the winter.
