no wind... none... nada...


i just wanted to vent my frustrations with the wind situation here in nebraska... there is no wind... and when i say no wind i mean, not even a breath... its been this way for like 2 weeks! i was up about 6 this morning and the wind was about perfect.... but i have to be at work by 7, and no sun till about 7.... grrr :mad:

Im just anxious to get out and try the radical i got passed... but man, there has been nothing going on! This weekend was nice and warm for the area, but no wind..... i had to resort to beer.... it made me feel a little better about the situation tho, lol

I felt like riding, and didnt want to hassle with the Chesapeake bay (who really wants to dive into that water). So I drove out to the coast. Was definitely worth the trip. Didnt make it out yesterday, though I kinda wish I had...

The three hour trips are better than the 4hr trips to get to Wildwood from where I live. Unless I'm staying over night...
