That 25-30 mph wind that kicked my butt on the way in this morning was GLORIOUS on the way home. I was going 30 mph in a pocket of still air. It was as fast as I could physically go on that bike without a cliff to go off of. Top gear, spinning like crazy.

Usually, there's no wind in the morning, and a stiff headwind on the way home. I'll remember this biking day for a good long time.

You have it even harder in Kansas. 30, gusting to 50... Wow. It's hard to even stand up in a 30 mph wind. One would be better off walking the bike to work, then getting a free ride home from the wind.
