XC Run Days 27, 28, 29 Pt. 2

More excuses tonight.

I'm in Silverthorn, CO high in the Rockies and I'm beat.

'Couple of posts back, I mentioned I expected a price to be paid for all the good weather I've had. Today I paid it. Not in rain or snow as I expected. In wind.

The forecast today was for winds 20-25 kts. - gusts 30. Just checked the weather channel. It was 50, gusts 65. All day, a quartering headwind. There were times I was taking curves leaning the opposite way just to hold the road. Saw several big rigs on their sides. Just blew 'em over. Found out they almost closed 70.

I only made 500 miles today. Had to break it down to 100 mile pulls. Slows ya' down, doing that.

So I'm going to bed.

Talk to you tomorrow.

(But, it still was a good day on the 'scoot!)
