Catrin I don't think some understand just how FLAT Indiana really is in the Indy area, LOL. 18 - 20 MPH wind there has NOTHING to stop it except you. I found since I moved that 20 MPH wind is doable but no WAY would I do that in IN I remember riding out on Nebo Ridge's training route once and I nearly got my wheels blown out from under me AND a dust tornado attacked me and I couldn't see crap! Yeah it doesn't make you weak it makes you smart
