Same here and sort of same idea but it definitely has picked up from this morning, not so much the wind speed its the gusting wind that bothers me, last time I was out in 40mph + gusts it really didn't feel too safe!

Thanks to someone local with a weather station connected to the internet, I know that as I cycled home last night the maximum gust was 41mph and the 1 minute average was almost 26mph. Today the maximum gust was 33mph and 1 minute average of only 18.5mph.Same here and sort of same idea but it definitely has picked up from this morning, not so much the wind speed its the gusting wind that bothers me, last time I was out in 40mph + gusts it really didn't feel too safe!
So yesterday is better than today, apparently.

The shame. Took the short route and just dodged the rain.
The shame indeed... write out a hundred times. I will not cut my commute just because a little bit of rain.
Though I do think to my self sometimes when commuting home in the peeing rain. Just go home ianrauk, just go home..forget the long route.
Windy this morning but got to workin an ok time, this afternoon was great, wind at my back, lights turning green at just the right point, no idiot drivers and a new 'going home' best time, that's the second this week

Thought you passed me a bit earlier than usual, that wind was horrendous for me
Thankfully it calms down tomorrow

Unreal today both going in and coming home. Bloody wind, but I was almost caught out in a shower but knew there was a shelter about 1 mile along.
Its amazing how fast you can go when the threat of getting the bike dirty looms.....

All I can say about today was the sun was out! 
Which means a pleasant journey with nice scenery to look at.. 
Although +1 on the headwind. The way home wasn't too bad but this morning was redonkulous. One blast of side wind trough a break in the buildings honest to god almost had me over.
