Dunno. Part of the way was a little bit protected by the terrain, but the open bits were murder. For that I just spun it up and stayed low to keep it up at 20-22kph. One really steep hill I went down straight into the wind pedalling hard: speedo only 38kph

nearly got knocked off by gusts a couple of times. Freaky. Scariest part was going over a 500m pick-a-plank bridge at 50kmh. Glad I don't do that for a living
[edit] yeah, I prolly do suck
