huge flag at audi dealership shows how windy is was

Wednesday
69° humidity 75% wind 7 NE
I forgot to check the weather and dressed too warm and went the wrong direction for the wind. 
As I approached CLR, a van passed me and cut me off. He was blocking even the gutter so my choices were to slam on my brakes or ride in the grass. I chose and grass and got around him onto CLR. The wind seemed behind me so I turned around at the next block and rode to BBD. When I turned north, I realized how wrong I was. The huge flag at the Audi dealer also proved me wrong but I stuck it out to MPB. 
A driver in a SUV honked at me 3 times and pointed to the MUP. I gave the finger but didn’t follow as they drove into their village. 
I rode to Union Park. Come back to MPB, I was going at a good pace and misjudged the traffic, I didn’t want the driver to get mad at me for cutting him off so I drove onto the MUP. Ugh. I remember why I hate it so much. It is poorly maintained.
