Santa Ana winds

I did NOT ride to work today.

Here in the LA Basin every fall and into early winter (other times of the year also but not as common) we get what severe winds that are caused by high pressure areas out over the Great Basin (Nevada, Southern Utah, etc.) that funnel air through our canyons and passes and blast us with gale force winds. There's all kinds of crap flying through the air--palm tree debris, election signs, GOP chances of winning in November, etc. Plus it blows you around on the GZ somethin' fierce. From the side it changes your lane and from the front it's like you're going 90 when you're only going 20 or 30. Alan, Busy--have you guys been out in this? Not fun.
