Who would have thought that Kansas would be more difficult than the Rockies? We are at 99 degrees (but it feels like 100!). The wind is steady 40-50 mph with gusts to 60. There is a high wind advisory with dangerous driving conditions. Since this is a south wind and we (of-course) are heading east, we experience this as a very scary side-wind. No aero-bars. I almost went down once. This is the single worse winds I've ever ridden in.
I spent my whole last pull repeating my mantra, over and over again. I was just trying to not think about it and just keep going to they pulled me off.
We just passed our first soloist, having made up 2 days on him.
Here was my pull from hell:
25:58
7.4 miles
17.0 mph
215 watts
72 rpm
I geared up to put more torque on my rear wheel to try to keep more control....
