Here is what I'm doing this weekend. This is the 3rd year for this ride, but will be the first time I have ridden it. It's just a week before the TdK, and I skipped it the last two years thinking it was too close to the TdK to be out doing a long ride and camping. Well, due to the lack of real spring weather around here, I am taking all the training opportunities I can get!!!

Speaking of training, the weather forecast for Saturday in Yankton is for NNW winds at 18 gusting to 32 MPH. So that will be a challenge.

The forecast for Sunday is for E winds at 16 gusting to 27 MPH. So, pretty much headwind all the way back! Don'tcha just love a challenge?? To all those people that live in mountainous states and revel at how strong they climb, try riding out here on the prairie, where 20-30 MPH headwinds for a metric century can make a grown man cry! :)
