Bryan, who put us up the night before, suggested we take that road to avoid gravel stretches on the Bikecentennial Route. In retrospect, not good advice.
We had tailwinds in the morning (but we stayed together) and could see for miles all around when we picked up US 54 heading west. Mostly I kept my eyes glued to the pavement, though. The winds from the south caused a dangerous riding situation as I leaned to my left to counteract them. When a passing car or truck blocked the wind, I'd veer slightly left momentarily...
