Strong Wind

I completed a 50 mile ride tonight with the KBC. When we reached the lake area, I worked on spinning up the hill. Zach and Mike J. were with me. It looked like the whole group was a single file line behind us, so Zach picked up the pace. When we came around the corner we had a crosswind at 35 MPH. After a mile or two, I realized there were only 5 in the group. Our group consisted of Zach, Mike, Cricket, Paul, and me. Zach, on his new ride, and Mike did the majority of the work. We were able to stay off the front for the remainder of the ride, including the long section into the wind.
