I suspect that's showing strong winds......... because of strong storms.

But, we may get lucky and only get the wind

It works to some extent... may have to be SSW rather than SW. Too much West and it's no good. It might be doable though.

How about backside? I'm thinking of going after work, probably about 6:00. I've only ridden there this summer a couple times (West wind) and maybe once or twice besides that over the past few years... so I can't remember for sure if it works for SW or not. I think I'll go give it a shot though. :?:

It was SE this morning- perfect direction for East Beach- Rode for about 3 hours - Bill and Mike were out as well. Backside is better for SW.

I rode for about 40 minutes behind bongos.

My 13m has a leak though, so I put it down early and headed out.
