Oops Sorry, that wind we were riding in I mentioned was 30-35mph with gusts over 40mph. I got hit in an open field by one of those 40 gust and got dropped into my drops and struggled to maintain 8mph. I was in a 52/17 gear and could have swore it was much bigger. I usually don't gear down in big winds because I want the strength they'll give.

During the winter I rode my mountain bike on the road with a sustained wind of 30 mph, and hopefully no gusts. It was about 3 degrees above 0 too. It took me a little over 7 min to go a mile. It was brutel I could have swore I was in a monster gear, because it took so much force to pedel. It was like 42/26. Lets put it this way on the way back from that mile of torture I didn't have to pedel if I didn't want to. Its a love hate relationship, I hate riding in it but love the strength it gives.
