Oh, John! The winds. The winds are a blast! An amazing riding companion who adds mirth and laughter and squinty eyes to the adventure. Will they blow me down the pass as I climb up? Now and again they boost up in a burst of delight only to toy with me and as I quickly shift from using my body as a sail propelling up up the pass to a tuck and grind through the grit sand blasting me face. I’m not as smart as you though, for I’m too pig-headed to downgear for the wind. Though around here, as soon as you downshift for the wind, it stops or pushes you along. Quite the jokester, mountain wind. Grin.
I rather thought today’s ride was a lost cause for comparing crank arm length — which would then mean harder to compare by the time a calm ride came along — but the winds were calm enough in the dprotected crevices and nooks and cranies that I got a great comparison.
