Yes, I have a tip. Don't do it. A 60 mph gust is pretty likely to blow you clean off the bike.
One of the very few occasions in recent years when I have had to bale out of a ride and call for assistance was when I went out on what seemed to be a windy, but not storm-force, day. When I got up into the higher ground it was gusting to 50 -60 mph and I couldn't keep the bike straight on the road - crosswinds kept blowing me into a ditch at the roadside. Funny only in retrospect.
