Comments:

The weather forecast called for strong winds with gusts up to 40 mph. When I got hit with the first gust of 40 mph, I turned around to do the "short course" since it nearly knocked me off my bike. Then the snow flurries turned into an all-out blizzard, with snow sticking to the ground. The novelty of riding in the snow soon wore off and I headed back to the lodge to hang out next to the fire place.

Event comments:

The entry fee included a bike jersey that looks really cool, the ride was a benefit ride for ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. The race director was a lady who lost her husband last year to ALS. www.alsride.com

Nice work on a tough day. At least you got a cool jersey out of the deal.

Hmm, you're in Georgia, and it's snowing. I'm in Maine, and we're getting flooded with all this rain.  Is the world upside down?
