Cruising down the beach on my fat bike, it was all about the wind in my hair and that wild, carefree vibe – kind of like that feeling you get when you’re the first one at a buffet. Pure exhilaration. The sand kicked up, decorating my shins with gritty souvenirs as I pedaled with gusto. But then, cue the dramatic music, I spotted storm clouds gathering on the horizon, and my gut started doing somersaults. Classic me, venturing too far down the beach, now seemingly on a date with disaster.
As if on cue, the wind decided to turn it up a notch, and the rain began its relentless dance, drenching me in what felt like an instant. There I was, wrestling with my raincoat like it was a piece of IKEA furniture, making my way through the sand and wondering at what point my adventure turned into an episode of “Survivor.”
And just when I thought my luck had bottomed out, a sound – part screech, part howl, straight out of a horror movie – had me whipping around. It was just the scrub trees, bending and swaying in the wind, but in that moment, I swear they were snickering at my plight. Guess Mother Nature has a sense of humor too.
