The two pillars are the worst sections of riding the GG. The wind can be wrathful. I have to slow down to a crawl, unclip one pedal just in case there is anyone rounding the corner whom I can't see. I find myself increasingly dreading riding the GG - and I've been riding it for the last 2 years, even when they shut down the cycling side and we had to share with the tourists peds - that was terrible.

No way I can get the Zipp 303s; I'd get blown over by the crosswinds.
