Out on the SkinnyTubed bike today & the headwind was nasty (but no doubt a good training aid) Anyway I'm 'bombing' along at 14mph cos It's all I could manage, & this truck & drawbar trailer came 'bombing' the other way. Well the draught off him was like hitting a brick wall & I promptly slowed to 8mph!. (ok, for the pedants among you, if I'd hit a brick wall I would've slowed to a prompt standstill, but you get the idea)
Horrible innit?

Hidious. I had a 20 mile commute home last night into a howling gale. Nasty.

It is. I found myself having a full-on shouting match a few rides ago.

The wind won...

I'd rather get rained on than do battle with a headwind
