100 Miles and Camping

This weekend a buddy and I decided to get away and do something different. We decided since there was the Solvang Century going on, why not drive the RV up , and do a little riding. So we got on the road Friday night, set up camp, and woke up Saturday morning for the ride.

I shouldn't complain, I was after all, on a mini vacation, but we woke up to shit weather and tons of wind. Wind and bicycles don't blend well. If you're riding a hundred miles, wind REALLY doesn't blend well. It really didn't. Someone once told me that riding up hills builds muscle, and riding into wind builds character. As of Sunday morning, i can assure you i am a full blown %100 character. The wind was coming from all directions. Normally if you get a head wind the first 50 miles out, then you can look forward to a nice tail wind for the last 50 home.....not a chance. Head wind 50 out, head wind 50 home. Solvangs nice and all, but NEVER again.

Of course we woke up Sunday morning to sunshine and not a hint of wind....of course. Went for a little recovery ride, snapped some photo's, and shot a lil vid. Enjoy.

Here's a little ride video.
