Good headwind on my new ride home tonight and some interesting side gusts 
making my aero bars an interesting proposition to use. Was thinking about 
previous Junes over the years - and kayaking. I've had some good June storm 
kayak episodes over the years. Good "spring" tides against stiff winds have 
been fodder for some interesting times. Maybe by next spring I'll have a 
storm-worthy yak.

Knees sore, so keeping a good spin - no heavy cycling for a couple of weeks. 
Nice having a light bike with all spinning parts light too. Can see why a 
carbon paddle makes for easier yaking.

Looks like maybe snow down your way tonight. Fire up those snowplows.
