Century Rides And Wind Forecasts
I've not done a century ride but was rather looking forward to doing one tomorrow. Everything weatherwise was cooperating except the wind. I'm in very good condition, have riddent 60's and 80's all summer with personal TT's on the hilly 20mi course at 1:10:00.
Tomorrow's forecast is showing WSW at 10-20mph. And no, I dont buy into the "tailwind is great on the ride back" theory. The course is an out and back but no way am I pitching the dice on the wind holding from that direction all day. Temps will be 60's-low 70's...sunny and perfect except for that wind.
What is your wind threshold on a day for a century ride?
