That day on Ride the Rockies a 200 lb rider almost got blown off the road, he was on the downhill side of the pass. Fortunately, I ended up sagging the windiest part of the route. I've ridden in crosswinds in N. Dakota where I feel like a drunken sailor, weaving in and out.

I thought we had strong winds in the midwest where I'm from but they're nothing like what we have here. Last week I got cranky just from the wind blowing around the house.
