Santa Ana winds in So Cal have been really bad off and on for a couple weeks. Went on a mtb ride last week 20-30 mph hour winds w/ 50 mph gusts. The gusts were nuts! Got blown "slideways" several times– scary on trails with exposure (as in a cliff next to you). It was fun and scary and stupid. Since then I have stayed on the road. Shorter rides, more effort, but not getting knocked over!
