    Lifetime Texan here - it IS abnormally windy this year! I am sick of it. I thought it was just my area (way south of San Antonio), but my brother lives near Corpus Christi and claims that it is much worse than usual there too. We've had sustained winds over 20 and gusts up to the 40s which is very unusual for us.

    Be careful turning corners etc. I had a close call last week where I just about got blown off the road as I rounded a corner.

    I recently changed from an out and back route to a loop, and that has helped a little mentally. I guess the effort ends up about the same, but changing directly every few miles gives a little relief and seems less frustrating!

    Hope it gets back to normal soon

    I keep telling myself that I'll be really strong from all the wind, but we'll see

    Edited to add: Oh Yeah, it it pretty great for those moments on the route where I get a pure tailwind, but mostly it's cross winds - blech
