Since my right arm is restricting my activities these days, I decided to join Alex and the after work gang for some bicycling yesterday. As it turns out, Alex didn't actually ride with us as he forgot to bring his biking clothes. But two others, Norm and Vince, were ready and willing so I joined them. Despite my trepidation regarding the weather. It was very windy. Blustery even. Not good and not fun.
The two guys are strong riders and even the first leg, heading toward the VAB area with the wind at our backs, was a bit of a struggle. I'm just not used to maintaining 22 mph and it was all I could do to keep up. Once we turned east and headed toward the pads we got a great deal of wind in our faces and the going was really tough. Extra tough for me as my front brakes were dragging. We stopped so that I could make an adjustment, but things were only marginally better afterward.
So the suffering went on and on. I just hunkered down in the drops and stared at the wheel in front of me, willing it to be over. Finally it was, after over an hour and 45 minutes.
