Rollerblading in the wind
Monday, April 18th, 2005What’s the difference between a 5 mph death-march and a 20 mph vacuum? 15 MPH of wind!
I just finished another wonderful trip around lake Nokomis on my blades. On the way there, the wind was TERRIBLE. I was going against the wind and only going as fast as runners. As I rounded the turn around the far side of the lake, the wind seemed to stop. Seconds later, I was floating in a vacuum at 20 MPH down the trail. It was so quiet that I could actually hear the whoosh sound of my bearings inside my wheels.
Too exhausted to write more. Gotta wash the sweat out of my eyes. :explode:
