let's take this outside....

Got the yellow cervelo outside today.
Just in time for my duathlon race tomorrow.
The winds were gusting 40km per hour.
Yeah.
Wasn't so much fun.
I waited and waited all day, finally the rubber hit the road in late afternoon, but damn it was windy.
And my oh my, how I forgot how much you get tossed around on a bike! The bumps on the road, the wind, the traffic...but I am not terrified I will fall off like I was last year!!
