Depends: Most of the time I try to get my ride in early in the morning to avoid wind. If I don’t and the wind picks up I will be mightily discouraged from getting out. If I’m out and there is wind, I will admit to having re-routed myself in order to catch a tailwind and shoot for a new personal record in Strava on one segment or another. Is that cheating?
On tandem tour years ago in the high plains north of Waterton NP, heavy crosswinds forced us to do some walking. On another tour on a single, I was blown off the road into a lettuce patch in Oxnard and later in the day, the wind tore my glasses off and blew them across PCH at Pt. Mugu. At times I was in my granny gear on level road. Last April riding home to SD from OC on the coast I had the most delightful tail wind that turned a planned two day ride into a one day ride. The wind wouldn’t let me stop. Bill S -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
