I'm guessing you didn't brave the wind? Almost got blew off my heavy hybrid this morning and that's when it was slightly less wild

I got blown into the next lane this afternoon, just near the secc where it is really exposed.
The commute home tonight was better, still had to stop a few times because it was dangerous.
Tomorrow I'm gonna put bricks in my panniers!

There's brave and there's idiotic. Brave is cycling with a 60mph tailwind. Idiotic is cycling with a 60mph headwind.

Couldn't agree more, I was lucky in the morning that I was only heading into it for about half a mile
So ... which did you do ?There's brave and there's idiotic. Brave is cycling with a 60mph tailwind. Idiotic is cycling with a 60mph headwind.
The tailwind was a mere 40-45mph in the morning. Very fierce crosswinds for the first 1.5 miles or so.So ... which did you do ?
Got blown about so much that I had to keep putting my feet down lest I end up in a ditch.
I'd still be out there if I'd tried to ride home last night.
Tempted to do an Arran trip this weekend even though the weather is set to be grim.
Urgently need some outdoorsiness in my life again. It's been nearly a year since I was last there, Tenerife was 2 months ago, I've scarcely turned a pedal and have done zero hillwalking since then.

And I just saw that the successor group to GRCM is going this weekend, just like GRCM did last year when I was there grinding out my February ton.

Tempting, very tempting. 7am ferry is physically impossible without a car though.

Sounds like the ride organiser is the only one going!
Well spotted!
Hey @Brandane - you should be out 
by now !
How's it going ? Still
? We've had a couple of days of the golden circle on a blue background 
- but it doesn't last 
.
Hope you're eatingfar too much well, enjoying your and getting a change of skin tone.
When does it have to end ? (ie when are we in for our next
?)

.Did another metric century yesterday, from Lake Buena Vista up to Winter Garden, then the West Orange Trail (like Sustrans ex railway paths without the broken Buckie bottles), and back. This is what cycling SHOULD be like!
Unless some young(ish) Floridian wench invites me to give up my life of wind and rain, then I will be getting dragged kicking and screaming onto the big silver bird on Tuesday night to Gatwick, then up to Glasgow on Wednesday morning
