Yesterday I tackled the winds. I was speeding along feeling good about my riding even as another biker overtook me. As I turned the corner, Mother Nature slapped me down and reminded me I am not as strong as I appeared. Just as effortlessly as she carried me along the last stretch of road, Ms. Nature stopped me dead in my tracks. I foolishly fought back and I am certain for one full pedal revolution I stood absolutely still. For the thirtysomethings think back to Saturday morning cartoons: there I was just like the Roadrunner speeding along; then, the frame stops, he turns, faces the camera, and the caption appears underneath: Idiovictus Bicyclist.
