Although I am still worn out from super Tuesday I wanted to get some more rides before the days of rain start. Started off in some good 6.0 winds Then I hit some wild gusts just as Patrick drove around the corner. We both rigged 5.2’s and had plenty of good rides, sometimes well overpowered. Then I saw Patrick tail walk almost all the way across. I got my wind meter and it stayed in the 30 to 40 mph band for a full minute and wasn’t showing any signs of backing off. Patrick left and I had lunch. Finally about 1:00 got an hour on the 4.7 and called it. Gusty as expected but tons of screaming rides. 4 days in a row, haven’t seen that since last September at Sulfur. Has my body feeling 70 again.
