I live in Flagstaff. If I didn't ride in the wind I would not ride!

Our Spring and our Fall and part of our Summer - oh, and our winters are windy!

Spring especially. So I ride cause I have to in the wind. I've been in some really strong gusts - once when I first got my really light Giant TCR with radially spoked aero wheels, I got blown from the middle of hte road (yes I was riding on the double yellow cause the wind was so strong.) It (Cross Wind of all Cross-winds) blew me all the way to the edge of the road in one spot where I don't even want to guess what the mph wind gusts were. They were steady at 45-50 so the gust was like being in a tornado!

I don't recommend it - it was really scarey
