    Re: Wind

    Wind always makes me think of 285. I've always hated that section right after Kenosha pass till about 10 miles before Buena Vista. That's like my wind nemesis. I'll ride in it, and it's actually a very beautiful area, but it's just kind of a pain in the ass.

    Speaking of; I stopped at the county clerk today just to break wind and drop a duece. Only time I've ever enjoyed doing business there.

    Knew I could count on them for a clean crapper.

    Re: Wind

    I just heard on the radio that I-70 towards Kansas shut down due to wind. At least I'm pretty sure it was 70, it could have been other highways. Well, something out that way is shut down due to wind. Disclaimer: I suck as a news man.

    I'm in the E470 and Jewell area, just West of Kansas. It's blowing like a mofo over here.

    Just take this as an opportunity to top out your speed in an easterly direction.
