Stay Safe

posted in Safety |

Last night I talked to a friend of mine who lives in Sarasota, Florida. He was telling me about how bad the wind was getting where he lives, yet he’s seen a ton of guys out riding through it. When I talked to him last night winds were gusting around 20mph. Well honestly I can’t say much about that. We’ve been stuck in some pretty heavy storms before with gusting winds that felt like they were going to push us completely off the road, but we had no choice but to keep riding or get stuck sitting on the side of the road in the middle of no where. I guess that’s something you get used to when you spend most of your time in the mountains though.

Where I was going with this point though, is that I hope all of you guys and gals in Florida are safe and sound. I’m sending good thoughts your way! I’m just glad this is only a tropical storm. I got kind of freaked out a few nights ago watching a special about hurricanes only getting stronger each year. They were talking about how pretty soon there might have to be another category to define storms much stronger than a category 5. Will we see a category 6 in the future? Or do you think it’ll be something like CAT5a and so on maybe even up to CAT5e!  That would seriously be scary.
