Given the silly threads that sometimes appear on these boards, I thought this was appropriate.

Actually with the winds we have here in SE NY today you might be able to coast uphill if you were headed in the right direction. Projected wind gusts of over 40mph.

wait till after the rain to ride! I hear the wind is supposed to drop off after the front comes through this morning.

edit: guess that means I'm advocating pedaling? C'mon, upgrade your power meter to 400W! ;)

Let's hope they're right about that Penguin. Dude the wind was coming out of the west so hard this afternoon that you could have ridden up the hill into Harriman on CR 106 without pedaling (eastbound). Amazing.
