Default The wind changed my mind

After almost 200 miles under my belt I thought about getting on the interstate here in Hampton Roads, Va. So I decided to get warmed up and ride up and down the main streets first. Next thing I know my bike is pulling to the left and it feels as if my tires are covered in oil or something slick. After about 10 minutes of that I decided the wind is bolder than I am and I need a lil more practice riding in the wind before I take on Road Rage alley, which is what I-64 becomes during rush hour. Maybe on Saturday or Sunday I'll work up the nerve to do it. I still don't have my license yet I have to wait until June before I'm eligible to take the ridden course. Should I wait or should I go for it?
