Biking in the Wind
There have not been many days this year that I had to fight the wind to get somewhere on my bike, but I had to do it quite often in the past. I was reminded of it today when I was biking to church.
It was pretty windy and chilly on my way in, but not too bad. I did need to throw a flannel over my dress and leggings though. I haven't had to do that for a while.
And though it was warmer on the way home, the extra wind made up for it. I still needed to throw my flannel back on for the ride.
I got off and walked it near some steep areas with a swamp. I didn't want to be blown in. But that area was pretty open. The rest of the ride had a lot of trees to break the wind.
Then almost as fast as it came, it wS gone. Throughout the day it warmed up more. But the cooler day left a little nip to the air.
It is hard to believe that only yesterday we went swimming. No chance of wanting to do that today. It is not like the enjoyment of waves in warm water, that is a different kind of swim, but fun.
Cold waves would not be pleasant. But outside of swimming it was a really nice day!
I thank God for the variety of weather He gives us. It is never boring!
The degree of a challenge depends on if you are peddling into the wind, across the wind, or the wind is at your back. Same wind flow. Different perspectives.
