Today it was WINDY AGAIN!!!
Unseasonably warm, but very windy.

The clouds kept blowing through as I pedaled into the wind for the first half… but then “flew” home with a fun tailwind!!! And the clouds played along so much better today than yesterday… allowing the sunrise colors to splash across the clouds before the sun disappeared behind the clouds once again.

Yesterday morning was WINDY!!! With a lot of clouded potential, I had high hopes for a beautiful sunrise. But alas, the clouds kept blowing through, I kept pedaling into the headwinds… and the sun made a VERY brief appearance popping out over the low-flying clouds, and then going right back behind a few moments later.
