Windy??? Has this been the windiest year on record? Every day seems to be gusty/breezy making riding the bike slightly less enjoyable. Barely ridden the road bike as every evening just seems to be too windy which means used the mtb a lot so not complaining too much. I honestly cant remember the last time i rode without it being windy.

Agreed, cant remember the last road ride when it wasn't windy. Some good PR's with the wind behind you though 😉

Now you mention it you're right. Coming from the north a lot more.

it's been a windy april and may for sure, only saving grace has been it's been mostly out of the west so I get a tailwind on the way home (and my morning rides are more sheltered so no big loss)

Same here in Sweden. Sucks big time. And it's still muddy

If there was ever a time for "Stoner's Graphs". As if by magic. 😉

Definately windy here. The usual tell is that a neighbours car alarm goes off. 4 incidents last night. 👿

After changing my diet recently I can safely say there has been a dramatic increase in overall speed and gustiness wherever I seem to be. 🙂

Here in yorkshire it just seems a permanent wind at the minute, never goes away. I guess i must have run out of MTFU juice as i keep opting out of a ride when i see the trees bending over.

Yet again its windy and the weather people had the audacity to say a gentle breeze today. At what speed does a breeze become a gust? Road bike gathering dust so mtb to otley chevin again.
