So, you're JRA, and suddenly, a relentless head wind slams you, stealing your speed and sapping your energy. You take a 45 deg. bend to the left, and the wind is still pointedly a relentless head wind. You take a chicane, still a headwind all the way around. You take a long sweeping right that all but doubles back on itself, and, still a bloody headwind. Ad infinitum et nausium (whathehellever blah blah blah...). So, wise folks, laymen and meteorologists, HOW TF _IS_ that possible?!?!?!?!? Huh?!?!?!? The wind doesn't blow. You suck. Sorry, too obvious. Really? Rotten luck. Were you riding down wind of big (ie 400-500 foot) hills or mountains? Lots of random swirling can go on in these circumstances. Chances are they won't all swirl into your face. Guess you beat the odds. Shawn |
