My first draft. (that was a bad pun very bad pun)  One shot is a little unconvential but I like it.  I'll let ya'll be the judge of that.  Another shot is a rerun but changed a bit due to a suggestion by Mr Quacker.

In my case it can be an exhilarating experience. one_with_the_wind  I soloed for the first time on Memorial Day of 07 at Torre Pines.  As I said, it was exhilarating.

At times the wind can cause me to reflect about where I am. gusting_old_glory 

And sometimes, being hardheaded, I must go Against_the_Wind
