I guess my numbers were low. We were in 48 mph winds when I was out riding. I am glad a chose a route with limited traffic with the wind.

I understand that we might be able to create more torque to handle the winds, but unless I was in a really low tuck, I was not cutting through the wind, I was more like a sail on a pirate ship, if you know what I mean.

Tom, I would have really hated riding in this wind with panniers on the bike. It would have, or could have been a disaster. Way too much wind resistance for the cross winds. If you were headed directly into it or away from it, the wind may not have been too bad. The one cross wind that blew me over in the lane was just not good from a safety standpoint. But, then again, there wasn't any traffic to deal with.
