Subject: Need ideas for long windy day ride
So my subject makes no sense, but here goes.  I need to do a 2.5 hour ride tommorow and I am having real troubles preparing for it considering the wind.  We are having 35 m.p.h. winds right now as I type and I just want to ride one day this year in relative calmness.  I live in the country and even the slighter winds make you work.  Anybody have a good bike route they can reccomend that maybe follows a river bottoms or something?  Between the wind and the hills out here my legs are begging for a break.

the route i did today was good. greenway all the way out to where it breaks off north toward cedar, and eventually back into downtown mpls. back to the west river road from there. it was about 30 miles total and we were sheltered from the big gusts most of the time.

I hear ya. I've hardly had a ride this year that wasn't windy. Ride for time, and ignore the speedo.

Suck it up. Imagine how fast you'll go on a race day that has no wind!
