Sick of this wind

[Breedon]

Looks like im not the only one then that's had enough, thought about going out to get some miles but this cold wind just isn't fun, wouldn't be so bad if it was warm.

But thats the same with or without strava.

Well yes, it was an attempt at making humour from the sometimes obsessive nature of Strava users. I do like the term 'user'.

I'm going to go out inspite of the wind, and I'm going to try and go as slowly as possible and really soak up the scenery. Perhaps if there's no such thing as the wrong weather (just the wrong clothing), then perhaps it could also be true that there's no such thing as the wrong weather (just the wrong goals).

That being said Oh. My. Corns we need some clement weather soon!

I agree about the weather, just take it easier and enjoy it, just the challenge getting through it is enough, and as you say Andrew a loop has some chance a of favourable winds.

What? No jumping up and down, foot stamping or bike kicking like Basil Fawlty?

There wasn't the energy to jump or stamp, and the bike was too expensive to start kicking!!!

Can't wait to ride without the constant Niagra falls dripping from my snozzle pipe. Where does it come from? You blow your nose until blue in the face, ride 50yds and its off again.

Glad it's not just me...........I seem to be constantly sniffing and wiping too.

Same here, I felt like riding the bike today with a tissue stuck up my nose so I did not have to keep stopping every five minutes

I can put up with the cold weather. It's the strong easterly wind that I've had enough of.

I did 27 miles around Swansea today and it was the hardest ride I have ever done. I am larger than the average rider so suffer more in the wind.

At one point today I was doing only 7.5mph on the flat. The forecast for the next few days shows the wind continuing.

I only did 18 miles today. it was like riding uphill all the way with the wind.

 

[Nearly there]

I only did 20 miles today. it was like riding uphill all the way with the wind.

Who needs hills when you have wind

I just pinch one nostril shut at a time and blow it out. Best not to ride too close behind me.

Looks like at least another week of this Siberian Easterly wind.

Told you lot already, new mini ice age , due to the fact the sun is going through a period of very little sunspot activate.

 

[cervelo chic]

the wind is getting boring and hard woek now.... thought I would try a 32mile ride and ended up doing my fastest ride yet, averaged 18mph
ok maybe I am odd

 

[Robxxx7]

I live on the west coast so can only go east on the start of my cycle .... and with this wind the first 5-6 miles is an absolute killer and just seems to sap the energy from your legs ... not at all enjoyable ... but the return trip is far better

Just see the wind as an additional training aid! If you want to know what proper wind is like go to Orkney!
