    Only if you are riding the same direction as the wind. With a good sail, you could make amazing time!

    I did a short ride yesterday. Not saying it was a quick ride. Man, that hurt. There was one straight road I was on yesterday where the crosswind gusts kept alternating directions! Not cool!

    Today was beautiful, though a little chilly. I used my aero wheels. My body was still pretty trashed from yesterday .
