What's your windspeed limit :) ?

I nearly chickened out earlier in the week but glad I took courage. The variable conditions are still presenting challenges to me ..... everyday excitement.

Of course for the people in Cumbria the current weather conditions are more than about cycle conditions.

I have never really thought about it

I have a large mass to propell. Anything over 10mph is a killer for me. Must try to get out more

Rode home last thurs night in a gale. cross winds nightmare you adjust yourself for bracing into it, then it drops for a second and you fly across the road.

70kph this morning - almost ground to a halt at the tops of the hills with the wind in me face. I've fixed a limit of more than 60kph forecast the night before and I don't go out, but I'd agreed to meet a pal for a ride.
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, a strong headwind is a pain in the neck, but a strong side wind is just bloody dangerous.

Last nights ride was 26mph, gusting to 44mph.
If you want the wind direction and speeds, i use the Met Office site.
Winds not too bad if you can mentally accept it, hunker down and just go at a pace without straining. You cant beat the wind...just find a pace that works...and enjoy the ride back

Had a ride from worcester to stroud today panniers well loaded wind gusting quite bad at times, the bike felt ok and no real problem maybe the extra weight was of some help to me. Pleased I took the bike and not the car so wind not such a promblem today!

Fitted my new Fizik Arione today. Once I was finished I put my toolkit away and made a cuppa. Looked out the patio doors and watched the rain being hammered off them by the wind. Thought for a minute..........

























Then went straight upstairs and fired up Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2.
