(or drafting my wife) So i'll be at "Very Fast" for a while longer i suppose.

We started riding at noon and i actually hadn't eaten anything that day except for one of those Vega bars about 20 min before we started riding. I had a strawberry honey stinger waffle bout half way through the ride. 230cal and 160cal respectively.

We were fighting about a 15mph cross wind on the way back. At one point it turned into a cross/tail wind and we were doing 31mph on the flat. Then the wind shifted against us and we were putting out twice the effort and only doing 14mph for the last 15 min. The last part sucked.

We were getting hit with hail and the wind was picking up the beach and sandblasting us. We made it back before it unleashed. I took this screen shot as we were driving away.

Dude!! Talk about close. I was playing that in my head as I read your post, that had to have been pretty scary smh.

LOL at drafting your wife comment!
