Well, she collected big time this weekend.

After all the tornados blew through, we had a huge windy day, and I went for a ride not realizing until I got out of the shelter of my road.

Two hours in the granny gear!
Ok, I exaggerate, I might have shifted up two cogs at one point but I didn't stay there long before I was back in the granny gear and out of the saddle trying with all my might to go fast enough not to tip over.

Granny gear for 2 hours!
I didn't make it very far and me and my spindly legs were beat by the time I took a shortcut home.

Suddenly I smelled strawberries and thought I was having a stroke!
(It turns out the spring crop is just blooming and kids were out picking with their moms and dads a km or so away). Phew!

As for mother nature?
I'm officially throwing away any form of speed measuring device for fear of offending her again...
