Today’s village - beach loop walk added resistance training into the mix, courtesy of winds gusting up to 78 Kph at our place, probably more on the beach. I’ve also been liberally coated in sand. Still, when it wasn’t a head or side wind my speed was slightly higher.

@Miraz Is that safe? I’d be nervous about flying debris.

@Miraz I may be stupid, but I love a good howling wind. It’s one of the things that drew me to the Eastern Sierra.

@jean Well, as a part of the world where such winds aren’t very exceptional flying debris is unlikely below maybe 100 Kph. On the beach the biggest flying debris risk is probably some bird being caught unawares. 😆

@cliffordbeshers I’m sort of OK with it — we have many such winds here — but the sandblasting is another matter.

@Miraz do you have to spin around to get evenly sandblasted on all sides? 😀

@mroutley I probably should have tried that! 😀 I certainly turned my back on it a few times.

@Miraz I grew up in hurricane country, so I picture trees and lawn furniture being tossed about. But 50 mph is “only” in the tropical storm range.
