What's with this wind:eek: . I just finished a Portola loop from San Mateo. The head wind as I was traveling north on Canada reduced my normal speed by 5 to 10 mph. I did not see many cyclists on the road.

Good thing I didn't ride today. Yesterday the wind was pretty bad too. My normal 20 mph dash slowed down to a mere 12 mph.

I rode on Monday, ducked the 20-30mph winds on Tuesday, and didn't get a ride today. Now they say rain is coming..... :(

Supposed to rain on Friday, so better get your ride in tomorrow.

Man, I was going so slow on Canada today. It's near the end of my 27 mile commute to. So 13-14 MPH was it for some of the "up hill" parts.
However, the wind wasn't too bad climbing Sand Hill.
I was thankful to join that pace line for a little while on Foothill today though ;) the wind was killer!

Cold and windy here. It was brutal. The wife and I took the tandem out, today was her first ride this year. We suffered. Good ride! :)

I'm definitely riding tomorrow to work, then riding over to the Thursday Night Ride. Hopefully the wind will die down by then ... I hope I hope!

I'm out in Half Moon Bay. It was probably worse out here along Hwy1. Almost got blown off the road coming down Lobitos Creek Rd. OTOH, going South on Hwy1 was a blast!

Work has been killing me. No rides this week. I've got the Wente RR on Saturday. Hopefully, I can do well enough to at least get a T-shirt.
