I just gotta ask - do you look up the wind speed in your area, or are you estimating how much wind there is?

Ar 25 mph you should hear whistling in the wires and 38 mph is considered a near gale.

Here's is an interesting site that describes what you experience at various windspeeds.

Also part of the wind you feel when you ride, is apparent wind (a sailing term) a combination of the actual wind and your movement through the air.
