Don't feel bad, Steve. I didn't do the ride either b/c it looked like the
winds coming from the north were about 30-40 mph.

I did the 8K "Run for Your Life" run in downtown OKC on Sunday . . . I have
to say that was probably the HARDEST run I'd ever done in my life. I mean,
it was just a 5-mile run, but we had 40-mph winds coming from the southeast
w/ gusts up to about 50-mph. I had to walk at least 2 miles of it b/c when
I was running, the wind would keep pushing me back!! Plus, there's NO cover
around the OK River Trails, so we all caught the wind head-on.

I don't think I'd be able to keep my balance on my bike with crosswinds that
strong.

Hopefully, they'll organize another ride in the next couple of weeks b/c I
REALLY need to get back to my training. I had a really solid base last year
and want to make sure I maintain that going into this year's triathlon
season.
