Not that sort but getting blown about on the bike.
How do you cope, for me its the one thing that I really hate, to a degree I treat it as additional resistance training but when it gets blustery I often find it difficult to enjoy a ride as the wind grabs the front wheel and can make you deviate.
i hate it on the roadbike, not so bothered on mtb
Well mine's a cx bike but definitely more so on the road, on the mtb it's just slowing you down. On the road I just feel its dangerous.
You need to do like me, and carry lots of, errm, additional weight 🙂
yeah it sucks, just gotta get on the drops and smash yourself............. which is approx 30s of effort before i blow up
I have a little ballast to help, certainly won't get blown away.
Sometimes just find myself cranking away as if I was going up hill at less than 10 mph.
Must admit though I do quite well when the wind is behind me, its worst when it's from the side as it's unpredictable.
I try to plan so it's in my face out and at my back coming home.
Equally hate it on the road. In general I head for the trees and go riding lower down in a wood or forest.
