I came into the davis mountains off of a great 50mile ride on I-10. A tailwind the whole way. Then I turn southeast onto state rd 118 and it was into the mountains with a stiff cross breeze.
118 runs through several canyons and gradually swerves upward. The wind through the canyons gets all twisted up and creates huge f-n gusts of 50mph or more. They may be right sighted, left sided, headwinds-- but never tailwinds.
Anyway, i'm in the davis mountains tonight at about 6500feet. I've got one more pass before getting to the university of texas observatory tomorrow, then its all downhill to del rio.
I still love mountains...
